Button event not firing

[Forumtroll]

I have a Web User Control that parses an XML file and renders a Form
based on the XML.
The problem is that I create a button on the bottom of the form that
will fire off a subscribeable event, but somehow the button never seem
to fire that particular event.

The code is attached below.

Re: Button event not firing

I've isolated the problem to be due to the validators.

How can I have validators with this, and -- provided the validators
don't trigger -- make sure that the form submit process continues so
the button click event actually triggers?
