For some reason , Validation Block always return true when I am trying to run a RuleSet against a Customer Object and the RuleSet is defined in configuration file. Below is console application and the app.config for same. I tried different ways using Validation.Validate, ValidationFactory etc... What am I doing wrong?

         static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Customer myCustomer = new Customer();
            myCustomer.FirstName = "a";
            //ValidationResults results = Validation.ValidateFromConfiguration<Customer>(myCustomer, "RuleA");  
            //Validator customerValidator = ValidationFactory.CreateValidator<ConsoleApplication2.Customer>("RuleA");
            Validator customerValidator = ValidationFactory.CreateValidatorFromConfiguration(typeof(Customer), "RuleA");
            ValidationResults results = customerValidator.Validate(myCustomer);
            if (!results.IsValid)
            {
                foreach (ValidationResult r in results)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(r.Message);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Success");
            }

App.config

<?xml version="1.0"?>
