Turn off validation for DataGrid EditButton

[Billkamm]

I have an EditButton with my datagrid that is on the same page that contains RegularExpressionValidators. However, when I click the Update button after editing a row in the datagrid it gets stopped by the validators. How may I turn off the Update button going up against the validators (which are for other controls that a treated separately from the datagrid during postback)

Have a look at ValiationGroups - they allow you to set which "group" a control is validated against.

I found 0 relevant results on Google and in ASP.Net for "ValidationGroups". Can you help link me to some information about these?

I'm also Using ASP.Net 1.0

That's odd. Typing ASP.NET ValidationGroup into google gave me this as the 5th result:

And even searching the help files, all the results show how to use the method:

It might be because I put an s on the end ValidationGroups instead of ValidationGroup.

Thanks for the help. I did however end up solving this a different way. I converted the EditButton column to a TemplateColumn and then added a button with CasuesValidation=False
