Validation Controls Postback

[Rafael Veronezi]

I have a little problem while working with Validation Controls in extensive
forms... When the user reaches the end, and something is wrong, it just
highlights the messages (a client-side script)... But, if the field is on
the top of the form, and the user doesn't search, and keep clicking on the
button, he will think that there's a problem on the form...
I would like to know how could I implement a way that the click button does
a postback, and then, if the IsValid variable is wrong, the correct messages
are show....
Thanks,
Rafa

Maybe you can do a Focus to a validation sumery??

Turn off the client side validation for each control and check IsValid() in
your CodeBehind. You can use a ValidationSummary control to get all of the
problems and pass it back to the client as a list of problems.

NOTE: .NET always does a server side check, even if you never use it, with
every validation. As clever hackers get around client side validation, it is
always a good thing to check IsValid() every time, even if you have client
side validation turned on.
