Validation Controls

[Charles A. Lackman]

Hello, I have placed many validation controls on an aspx webform and a user
control that allows the visitor to enter a username and password and bypass
the form. The problem I am having is that the validation controls are
firing and not allow the visitor to logon because the validation controls
are saying that the other textboxes need to be filled in.

Is there a way around this problem? Or do I have to discard all the
validation controls on the page and namually generate validation logic in
the submit buttons?

Thanks

Chuck

ie if myvalidator.isvalid

I've a datagrid with a textbox with autopostback=True and also validation
controls.
Even if the validation controls fail the postback still occurs.
How can i stop this happening?

You can test for page validity in the form load event .

If Not Page.IsValid Then
' only executed when the page has been validated.
End If

You cannot assume the user has client side script enabled, that's why
validation control run at both client side and server side (also so a savvy
users cannot post nonvalidated input to the server), just make sure the page
is valid before you perform your processing.
