Validation Block - Cannot validate from Base Object

[rpeters74]

Within a base object I want to encapsulate the call to the Validation Block. The following code block will not work. The method tag with SelfValidation is never called. If I were to take the base object's implementation and move it to the derived object then the method is called. I have tried many different ways to get this to function an nothing seems to work.


------------------------------------------
Base Object
------------------------------------------
Public MustInherit Class BaseBusinessObject

Private _validationResults As New ValidationResults
Public Property ValidationResults() As ValidationResults
Get
Return _validationResults
End Get
Set(ByVal value As ValidationResults)
_validationResults = value
End Set
End Property

Public Overridable Function IsValid(ByVal ruleset As String) As Boolean
Me.ValidationResults = Validation.Validate(Me, ruleset:=ruleset)
Return Me.ValidationResults.IsValid
End Function

End Class


------------------------------------------
Derived Object
------------------------------------------
<SelfValidation(ruleset:="Search")> _
Public Sub DoValidate(ByVal results As ValidationResults)
results.AddAllResults(Validation.Validate(Me, ruleset:="ruleSet1"))
End Sub
