Custom Validator: IsValid is not called when using overloaded method

If I do the following:

public class CustomRangeAttribute : RangeAttribute
{
    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        return base.IsValid(value);
    }
}

The method is executed as expected. If I do:

protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value, ValidationContext validationContext)
{
   return base.IsValid(value, validationContext);
}

The method is not called. Why? sl3dg3

This works exactly as you'd expect if you are using ASP.NET MVC 3.0. I tried it myself using your example and it works great -- I get a non-null ValidationContext and it does get invoked. See here for a full elaboration on this. So this suggests yet another reason (beyond the awesome Razor engine) to upgrade to v.3.0.
