Can you suppress validation controls when not needed?

[mb22]

I have a form with several validation controls ... Sometimes I do not need the validation controls depending on a certain combination of options ..... how can I suppress the validation in that case?

Do I just make the validation fields invisible or what?

mb: don't have the answer at the top of my head but in the last week this very question was asked - do a bit of research here - you should be able to find it quicly - I think Paul, link9, provided the answer.

One way is to set the Enabled property of the validator control to true or false during the page load event, based on conditions.

dragon: If I remember correctly that was very close to the solution provided.

Another way might be to do a check if the combination of options select does not warrant a validation, then set the CausesValidation property of your submit button to false.
