perform validation on multiple buttons - asp.net

I have two section of elements inside the form (e.g. pizza and burger).
Each section has different fields and each section has its own submit button.
Now I want to validate each of these section only if their corresponding submit button is pressed. If the other submit button is pressed, it should not validate other section of elements.

You need to use Validation Groups, from MSDN -
Validation groups allow you to organize validation controls on a page
as a set. Each validation group can perform validation independently
from other validation groups on the page.
For example (from MSDN):
<asp:requiredfieldvalidator id="RequiredFieldValidator2"
controltovalidate="AgeTextBox"
validationgroup="PersonalInfoGroup"
errormessage="Enter your age."
runat="Server">
</asp:requiredfieldvalidator>
<!--When Button1 is clicked, only validation controls that are a part of PersonalInfoGroup
are validated.-->
<asp:button id="Button1"
text="Validate"
causesvalidation="true"
validationgroup="PersonalInfoGroup"
runat="Server" />

I'm not sure what's the problem so that when I click Insert link button the page was submitted without any error message even though I don't type anything in the bottom of text boxes.
can anybody help me?
You are just Missing Validation Group in Insert LinkButton.
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Insert">Insert</asp:LinkButton>
Please use following code for required field by removing your
InitialValue="Select Department" and ErrorMessage="Department is required"
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvInsertDept" ControlToValidate="ddlInsertDeptID" Text="*" ForeColor="Red" ValidationGroup="Insert" runat="server">Department is required</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

RequiredFieldValidator is not Valid even if there is values

I have a Page Fruit that has a UpdatePanel P1 and a ModalWIndow (outside of the updatepanel). I have a Page Apple with An UpdatePanel P2. ModalWindow on Page fruit will add Page Apple on demand.
Now, In the Apple Page
I have a GridView with EditItemTemplate and FooterItemtemplate for lets say 5 columns. Both of them have RegularExpressionValidator and RequiredFieldValidtor each separated by ValidationGroup. For EditItemTemplate everything is on point.
For FooterItemTemplate, the button won't do postback even though all the validation is met.
The footer template looks like this for the column of interest
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="vendorAdd" runat="server" Width="95%"/>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator66" ControlToValidate="vendorAdd" ValidationGroup="AddValidation"
ValidationExpression="\w*" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Invalid VendorName" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id = "RegularExpressionValidator67" ValidationGroup="AddValidation" ControlToValidate="vendorAdd"
runat="server" ErrorMessage="VendorName Required" />
</FooterTemplate>
There is no message saying this failed. I removed the all the other validation on other footer column than shown above. I added on the button to stop validation. And in Server side added this
Page.Validate("AddValidation");
var b = Page.IsValid;
var notValidValidators = Page.Validators.Cast<IValidator>().Where(v => !v.IsValid);`
Here in the debugger the notValidValidator says that RequiredFieldValidator is not Valid. I don't see why though, I have a value and there is no message on the front end.

Ajax for asp.net form view

Inside form view I have drop down list on selected index change I have text box appearing.
Now I want to keep both these drop down and Text box inside Ajax update panel. Upon click button out side update panel I want to save these two fields as well.
Any help Much appreciated.
Here aspx code
<asp:TextBox ID="NameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' />
<br />
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLName"
runat="server" ValidationGroup="VG1" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("LNAMEIFYES") %>' OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlLName_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem Value="">Please select...</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<br />
<asp:Panel ID="pnlLNAme" runat="server" Visible="false">
LName:
<asp:TextBox ID="LNameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LName") %>' />
<br />
</asp:Panel>
Code Behind
protected void ddlLName_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddlLName = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("ddlLName");
if (ddlLName.SelectedValue == "1")
{
Panel pnlLNAme = (Panel)FormView1.FindControl("pnlLNAme");
pnlLNAme.Visible = true;
}
else
{
Panel pnlLNAme = (Panel)FormView1.FindControl("pnlLNAme");
pnlLNAme.Visible = false;
}
}
I solved the problem by using by using two update panals, using trigger in one of the update panal.
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
ID:
<asp:Label ID="IDLabel1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />
<br />

<asp:TextBox ID="NameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' />
<br />
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLName"
runat="server" ValidationGroup="VG1" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("LNAMEIFYES") %>' OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlLName_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True">

<asp:ListItem Value="1">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">No</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<br />
<asp:Panel ID="pnlLNAme" runat="server" Visible="false">
LName:
<asp:TextBox ID="LNameTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LName") %>' />
<br />
</asp:Panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel2" runat="server">

<br />
<asp:LinkButton ID="UpdateButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" />

Ajax UpdatePanel not firing?

I am not understanding why this doesn't fire. It will not even call the event. Any thoughts? Really what I want to do, is prevent a full post-back. The page is large and each time it does a post back it jumps to the top.
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="UpdatePanel" updatemode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblSnippet" AssociatedControlID="cmbSnippet">
From snippet:
</asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="cmbSnippet" CssClass="dropdown" AutoPostBack="true">
<asp:ListItem>
None
</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>
Read Part
</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>
Read Feed
</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
</p>
<!--Code-->
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblCode" AssociatedControlID="txtCode">
From code:
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtCode" TextMode="MultiLine" CssClass="editor" MaxLength="100" Height="200" Wrap="false" />
</p>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:Asyncpostbacktrigger controlid="cmbSnippet" eventname="SelectedIndexChanged" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
you have not declared the event
something like this:
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="cmbSnippet" CssClass="dropdown" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="cmbSnippet_SelectedIndexChanged">
and his relative handler in codebehind...

Why is my MaskedEditValidator is not working?

I have following controls in my page, my CompareValidator works, but not the MaskedEditValidator. Am I missing anything?
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ToolkitScriptManager>
<div>
Date: <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CalendarExtender ID="TextBox1_CalendarExtender" runat="server"

</asp:CalendarExtender>
<asp:MaskedEditExtender ID="TextBox1_MaskedEditExtender" runat="server"

CultureDateFormat="" CultureDatePlaceholder="" CultureDecimalPlaceholder=""
CultureThousandsPlaceholder="" CultureTimePlaceholder="" Enabled="True"
TargetControlID="TextBox1" Mask="99/99/9999" MaskType="Date">
</asp:MaskedEditExtender>
<%--<asp:MaskedEditValidator ID="MaskedEditValidator1" runat="server"
ControlExtender="TextBox1_MaskedEditExtender" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
ErrorMessage="The Date is not valid!" IsValidEmpty="False">
</asp:MaskedEditValidator>--%>
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Invalid Date!" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Date">
</asp:CompareValidator>
<br />
<br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="PostBack"
onclick="Button1_Click" style="height: 26px; width: 85px" />
<br /><br />
Selected Date:<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
Replace your MaskedEditValidator with the following:
<asp:MaskedEditValidator ID="MaskedEditValidator1" runat="server"
ControlExtender="TextBox1_MaskedEditExtender" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
IsValidEmpty="False" EmptyValueMessage="Invalid Date"
InvalidValueMessage="The Date is not valid!">
</asp:MaskedEditValidator>
The key thing is that you needed InvalidValueMessage and/or EmptyValueMessage instead of ErrorText.
