If a managed child object is invalid, the parent's IsValid property returns false. However, the parent's BrokenRulesCollection is still empty. Is there a way to get a full set of broken rules, including the rules that are broken on the child objects? Or do I need to recursively walk the parent/child tree in order to find out why a given object is invalid?

You have to recursively walk the tree.

I posted a sample a couple of years ago: (where does the time go??)

Thank-you. I'm doing something similar by recursively calling a "GetFullBrokenRulesCollection" that I implement on my base classes that inherit from CSLA.

However, it seems that this is something that CSLA should provide in order to be consistent with the new behavior of IsValid.
