As I mentioned in my original post, I am able to access the control in the
Load event of the Page. The place where I want to and am not able to access
it is in the EvaluateIsValid() function of my validator. In the
EvaluateIsValid() function I am attempting to access it using the following:
Me.Page.FindControl(ControlID)
Because the Load event of the Page occurs before the EvaluateIsValid()
function is called, this shows that the control does exist in the page when
I try to access it. Is there something else I need to do when accessing the
control from inside EvaluateIsValid()? Thanks.
