Hello,

I'm having a problem with validation and the datagrid. I have a form with a search area, then a datagrid below (with editing capabilities). I also override the footer to provide textboxes for insertion purposes, so for all of this, I'm using the templatecolumn to provide this. Now, since it is a 1.1 app, I don't have validationgroups option. But the problem I'm having is you can search, then change the search and search again, which raised validation, so I turned off causesvalidation, that worked fine.

But the opposite doesn't work; how do I turn off validation for buttons in a datagrid? Specifically how to handle edit, update, cancel buttons?

Thanks.


Brian

Try converting the edit,update,cancel column to a template column. Then for each button, set the CausesValidation = False

Jim

Use the ItemCreated event for the grid, check the item type (look for the EditItem), then go thru the controls in the appropriate cell and set the CausesValidation property on all the buttons in that cell.
