There is a third way. The "Validation Groups" concept is the right idea. It
happens to be available today in third party products. I wrote
"Professional Validation And More" (
http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx)
to overcome the numerous limitations of the Microsoft validators (for a list
of those limitations, see
http://www.peterblum.com/vam/valmain.aspx.) It
includes validation groups. It's easy to convert your page to my validators
because I include a Windows app to handle the conversion.

Two ways, neither of which I think you'll like
a- Wait for asp.net 2.0 and Validation Groups
b- Put all validators for a certain group within a panel, and make this
panel visible/invisible. Essentially only showing one grouping of
buttons/inputs at a time. Of course if you have an "add new" and "save
changes" really only one of these should be displayed at a time anyway.
Hope this helps,

Hi all,
i have this form with the NewText Fields and then the Editable datagrid
for all the existing Records. So i have to Buttons "Add New" and "Save
Changes" and there is a Set of Validations for "Add New" say Validation1 and
Validation2.
and there is a Set of Validations for "Save Changes" say Validation3 and
Validation4.
Now what happens is when i click on the "Save Changes" for the GridEdit.
it still check the Validation1 and Validation2 .. which is not i want..
So how do i ignore those checks. Or how do i make sure that only those
checks are getting execute which i want.
Thanks
RSB
