Remarks
Value is the value of the child drop-down list in the UI, not the underlying value (which is ItemFieldValue) of the SPFieldLookup object that has the LookupField as its FieldRenderingControl property. Use Validate only when you need validation of the UI value. To validate ItemFieldValue, use GetValidatedString().
