Hi there

I am trying to create the following server control.

My control has 3 stages, where it show 1 of 3 images, as parameter is gets
1-3 ID's of validators on the aspx page.

States:
1. No required validators, show an empty image
2. One or more validator was invalid, show a red arrow image
3. All validators are valid show green arrow image.

(the control just returns '<img src="red.gif" />'

My problem is, in the aspx page i have:
<cc1:ValidationPicture ID="ValidationPicture1" runat="server"
Validator1="cityRequiredFieldValidator"
Validator2="cityRegularExpressionValidator"/>

My method in the DLL get's called correctly, but how do i get from the ID af
a validator 'cityRegularExpressionValidator' to the object ? So i can call
'isValid()' on it ?

I tried with:

obj=Page.FindControl(ID)

and

obj=FindControl(ID)

Put the first one fails because 'Page' is null/nothing the other one always
returns null/nothing.

I have tried to google it, but no luck How do the validators do it ? The
also just get an ID and evaluate the objects content.

Please help me, an example would be nice, if does not matter if it is in VB
or C#

Thanks for the tips

What i actually was doing was that i tried to get to the Page object before
it existed (in the get/set methods), of course i should do it in the render
method instead and now it works.
