I have a validator that I wrote by inheriting from BaseValidator. At certain
points in the code, I need to access other controls on the page containing
the validator. I have the IDs of these controls, so I use the following
statement to access them:

Me.Page.FindControl(ControlID)

However, this is returning Nothing, even though the control can be accessed
in the Load event of the Page containing the control and the validator. I
also want to mention that the Page uses a Master Page, and the control and
validator are declared in the Page, not the Master Page. I am not sure if
this makes a difference or not. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

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.
