Multiple buttons validate different controls????

[msnews.microsoft.com]

I have 2 datagrids. Each with an add record in the footer. How can I just
validate the fields in that datagrid without validating the fields in the
2nd datagrid. Any examples???

ASP.NET 2.0 has Validation Groups, which solves this problem gracefully.
Until then the best solution is to roll your own validation.

Sure it is.

He is telling you there is no way to automatically do what you want right
now.

So you have to write all the validation yourself.

Until you switch to ASP.NET 2.0, here are your choices:

1. Handle validation manually on the server side.
- Set the button's CausesValidatio n property to false.
- In the Click post back method, call Validate() on each validator. Then
test each validator's IsValid property for true before saving.

2. I wrote a replacement to Microsoft's validators called Professional
Validation And More (http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx). It's 25
validators support validation groups right now. I wrote it to address the
numerous limitations I found with Microsoft's validators, such as
client-side validation isn't supported on Mozilla-based browsers. I also
identified numerous enhancements that can make validation better, like
setting focus to the field with the error or changing that field's color. I
have attempted to build a feature rich system that avoids most of the custom
coding and hacks users face with Microsoft's validators.
