Cancel validation?

Hi everyone,

I have a VB.NET web form with some field validators and Save and Cancel
buttons. What I want to do is on the Cancel button On_Click event,
Response.Redire ct to another page. The problem is that the client-side
validation occurs before even reaching the event for the Cancel button.
I've tried some ways to disable only the client-side validation, but I find
it a poor design that you can't have a command button bypass the jscript
validation routines.

Anyone found a workaround for this? Surely this problem occured before.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You'll love this!

In the cancel button's properties list find "CausesValidati on" and set it to
false.

Hi

What about redirecting on the client

cancelbtn.Cause sValidation = false;
cancelbtn.Attri butes.Add("oncl ick","location. href='theRedire ctPage.aspx';
return false");

Doh, it was almost jumping at me. I thought that this property controlled
if the control generated validation on the server. Wasn't sure about the
client-side.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, If an event has multiple subscribers, is it possible to cancel the invocation of event handlers from an event handler? Or to be more specific: I'm subscribing to the ColumnChanging event of a datatable, from two seperate classes. I wish to do some data validating. Due to the nature of the data validation being done, I seperated this code in two classes.

I am writing a control that relies on its host to validate the contents of one of its fields. The control fires a custom 'FooNeedsValidating' event and passes the field's data with the event. The host handles the event, validates the data and returns the validation results to the control by a callback to a control method, SetFooError(). All of that works great. If the host returns false on the validation, I display an error glyph next to...

I have a form w/ a textbox and Cancel button on it. I have a routine to handle textbox.validating, and I have the form setup so the Cancel button is the Cancel button. WHen the user clicks on the cancel button, the textbox.validating is being called. I don't want it to be since they are exiting the screen the validation doesn't have to be done. How can I do that.

I think I'm losing my mind, granted it is kind of late here so... I'm trying to do some simple validation on the client as keys are pressed. The validation routine works well enough however I can't seem to cancel the event should the validation fail. Well more accurately, I can't cancel the keyup event. When I hook the following routine to the keydown event it works well and an invalidation cancels the event. I'm hooking the...
