Hello,

I have a datagrid with an edit column that performs updates and another
command column that performs deletes. I then added controls to the footer
template and use them to add a new record. The problem I am having is that
when I try to use a validator for the add textbox in the footer the same
validator control tries to validate when the update button is clicked. Is
there any way to turn of certain validator controls for certain commands. I
know that there is the causes validation property but that turns all
validation off. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Microsoft realizes that they missed this key concept: different submit
buttons going to different validators. They are fixed it with "validation
groups" in ASP.NET 2.0. Validation groups lets you associated a name between
a submit button and its validators.

I rewrote ASP.NET validation to address numerous limitations, including
validation groups, in Professional Validation And More
(http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx). In addition to supporting
validation groups, its 22 validators greatly expand what you can do with
validation, from the browsers it supports, to the UI it offers, to the rules
of validation. It helps you avoid writing custom code and hacks that are
used with Microsoft's validators.
