Validating an ASP.NET user control from its parent page?

Hmm I like the Interface idea suggested by digiguru but I would use the interface on the container Control1 instead of the sub controls as it seems like the more logical place for the code to live. Heres my take on it.

If you are adding user controls on the fly, you could make each control implement the same interface with a Validate function. That way you can load the controls into a placeholder in each parent control on the page. When the page is submitted, simply loop through the controls in the placeholder, cast them to the interface class and then call the validate function.

I doesn't use custom validators, but you can build up a list of validation errors using the object returned from the validate function, you can render this collection of validation errors whichever way you like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
