seeing if a control isValid

[darrel]

I'm stuck on some syntax. I'm building my own summary validator. I'm walking
through the controls to see which ones are validator controls. Then, for
each one that is, I want to check the isValid state:

if instr(child.GetType.ToString(), "validator") then
*check validity
End If

The problem is that I'm stuck on how to check the particular webcontrol to
see if it isValid

I can obviously grab the object and check:

RequiredFieldValidator_email.isvalid
but since I'm walking through each webControl, I need a way to check the
current control. Something like this:
if theCurrentControl.isValid then

But I'm totally stuck on the syntax for this.

This might help you:

If (TypeOf child Is BaseValidator) Then
child.Validate()
If (Not child.IsValid) Then
' Get the error message...
End If
End If
