Hi Alan,

Unfortunately the container class does not have valid method.

Anyway, I already solved problems with this control and now I was trying to work with my colleagues on a simple form. However, the form looks simple, but it requires lots of tables in order to get the information we need. I hope we would be able to finish with that form tomorrow.
