dropdown list validation problem

I have a required field validator on a dropdownlist control (EnrollmentSize) on my form that is returning false for the IsValid property even though a selection is made.  It should be evaluating to true.  I cannot spot what is causing the IsValid property to evaluate to talse.

Please see below for the code on the form and the code-behind.

Thanks for any help.

Where are you checking the  IsValid property?
Did you try setting debugging and see in code behind what is the selectedValue for that DDL?

I set a breakpoint on the SubmitButton_Click event handler and stepped thru the code.  The IsValid property shows false in the debug.  The DDL for Enrollment Size shows empty an empty string even though in the form, I've selected the option ">2,000".  It isn't picking up the value that has been selected.  I don't see why or how that is happening?  I'm making a selection and I've looked at the page source and it the values are correctly listed.
