How do I disable a RequiredFieldValidator 1

[arneweise77]

Hi everyone. I´m struggling with a RequiredFieldValidator. I want to disable it when pressing one button, and have it enabled when pressing another button. But somehow "validator-id.enabled = false/true" doesn´t work. Is there some other way to go around this?
Hope someone can solve this for me, and thanks in advance if so.

Take care, Arne

You can change the 'causesvalidation' property of the button to stop all validators on the page. this can be an attribute of the button tag and is just set to true/fasle.

If you want just some of the validators on the page to run when the button is pressed then set causesvalidation to false and then on pressing the button in your code behind you can run and test the required validators something like...

validatorid.validate();
if(validatorid.isValid) //action

hope this helps
