Dynamic Validation Control

[Chris Kennedy]

I am adding several controls dynamically in a composite control. Everytime I
add a control to the controls collection I increment an integer so I would
guess I know the where about the control is in the control collection.
I get the id of that control like this
validateid = Controls(ControlCounter).id
valrequired.ControltoValidate = validateid
Next I add a validate control. This causes my control to throw an error
The ControlToValidate property of '' cannot be blank.
I have also tried to uniqueid but I then get:
Unable to find control id 'CompControl1:_ctl2' referenced by the
'ControlToValidate' property of

Can anyone point me in the right direction, Chris.

When you create the target control, set the id to some value, then you use the same value to set the ControltoValidate of the validator.
e.g.

TextBox txtBox = new TextBox();
txtBox.ID = "txt_box_target";
RequiredFieldValidator rfv = new RequiredFieldValidator();
rfv.ControlToValidate = txtBox.ID;
