asp.net validation not validating

[JV]

This is normally easy stuff, but it's failing spectactularly.

I added the server controls and configured several validation controls,
including a summary control.
I set my button control's "CausesValidation" property to true.

Build and test: I click the button, and in the button click handler I check
the IsValid property of the page and it returns true even though I purposely
entered no data on a required field. In fact, none of the validators appear
to be doing anything.

Anyone ever seen this happen?

Make sure your virtual directory has the aspnet client folder is
there...it has javascript necessary for validators.

Hi JV,

Try executing the next sentence, in the Visual Studio 2003 Command Prompt:

aspnet_regiis -c

Good suggestion, but already checked that

Ever have one of those days? I wasted an hour or so on what turned out to
be a "DFP" error. Had a couple of fields that were named very similarly,
and overlooked the fact that some of the validators were pointing to the
wrong fields.
