how to skip validation control

Joe Au

I create a (left) panel control to hold some image buttons, and a (right)
panel to hold some textboxes and corresponding validation controls. When I
press one of the button on the left panel, then the validatons takes place
on the right panel to show up the error messages. How can I skip these
validation if the user really want to leave the right panel?
Thanks.

ah, this is called validator grouping, and it's coming in ASP.NET 2.0.
For now, you either have to homegrow a solution or find a third-party
control (such as Peter's validators at
http://www.peterblum.com/VAM/Home.aspx) that usually cost money.

The easiest solution is to turn off client-side validation, as I assume
this is what you're talking about, and validate on the server side
instead. Otherwise I also did this myself for a project by hacking the
Javascript functions that Microsoft uses in

C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\aspnet_clie nt\system_web\1 _1_4322\WebUIVa lidation.js

for example, to enable/disable controls myself on button clicks.

The server side validation solution, you just check things like
Page.IsValid and validatorContro l.IsValid to verify if errors are really
errors...

The problem I see with this approach is that it will cancel all validation,
not just validation for the other panel. A thought would be to make the
panels iframes. That way they are completely independant of eachother.
Although this may not work for you.

If you have a button that allows the user to "leave the right panel", set the
CausesValidatio n property on that button to false.

ASP.NET Web Forms Validation Controls are Server-Side or Client-Side Validation?

by: Matt | last post by:

I want to know if ASP.NET Web Forms Validation Controls are Server-Side or Client-Side form validation? Since I think each validator control can select either 1) JavaScript based error dialog or 2) show the error message next to the control. For example, if the text field is empty with RequiredField Validator control, it can show the value in ControlToValidate property in two ways as I mentioned. Please advise. Thanks!

Validation Controls stop working!

by: Martyn Fewtrell | last post by:

Dear All I have a Windows 2003 Server with IIS6 where the validation controls on ASP.Net pages no longer work. I believe it to be specific to the server as if I create an ASP.Net page on the IIS Server of my Workstation (Win XP) with a text box, button and required field validator, this works fine. If I create the same page on the IIS6 Windows 2003 Server the validation control doesn't stop the post. I've tried different browsers and...

cant figure out what is causes server-side validation

by: AFN | last post by:

I was just dropped into someone else's code (isn't that always so fun?). I can't figure out why a custom validation control's server event function is executing. There is nothing (that I see) in page_load, or elsewhere, that says page.validate, no control says "causesvalidation=true", and the AutoEventWireup is set to false. So I would think that the control's server event function would NOT execute, but it does execute right after...
