Validation Groups

[moondaddy]

How can I have a page with 2 different groups of controls (where each group
of controls contain textboxes, validation controls and a submit button) and
each group operate independently? for example, when the user clicks on the
first submit button, it wont submit unless all the controls in group 1 are
valid, likewise, when the user clicks on the 2nd submit button, it wont
submit unless all the controls in group 2 are valid.

thanks.

Using ASP.NET 2.0? Doesn't just specifying ValidationGroup="your_group_name"
on these controls respectively work?

Hello Moondaddy,

If you're developing the page through ASP.NET 2.0, as Teemu has suggested,
you can consider utilize the ValidationGroup in ASP.NET 2.0. This is a new
feature added in ASP.NET 2.0 react to the feedback about the ASP.NET 1.1
validation control's limitation. We can configure validation controls,
summarycontrol, submit buttons to be grouped by certain group names and a
submit button configured in a certain group can only trigger the valiation
of validators in that corresponding group.

So for your scenario, each of your usercontrol will has own set of input
entries and validation controls, you can consider make each usercontrol an
individual Validation Group scope so that the validation in one
usercontrol(group) won't affect the ones in another usercontrol(group).

The above msdn link has provided typical sample demonstrating the usage of
validation group of ASP.NET 2.0 validators.

Please feel free to post here if there is anything unclear or any other
questions on this.
