Dynamic validator Query

[Nergal]

Is it possible to add a validator at runtime and have it validate ?

I add a bunch of textboxes, validators etc dynamically and restore them on
postback but whatever I do the validator controls always return false for
IsValid.

TIA.

Yes it is possible. I generate some pages including validators
and they work fine. When are you adding those controls? It should
be in Page_Load (or maybe Page_Init).

Thanks for your reply.

I found the problem, the parent control was Visible = false; therefore the
validators always return true.

Thanks to reflector for uncovering that one ;)
