I have a web form. There are many different sections. I can say that each section displays data of a datatable. At each section I have OK and Cancel buttons. When I press OK any changes to the table in the database takes place. I've also put some Requiredfieldvalidators. Let's say I'm inserting a new record in the section one and the fields are correctly typed. When I press OK I get error message raised by the rest of the validators that are on the other sections. Isn't there any way that when I press OK button of a particular section to get validation errors of that same area? So what I probably need is a button that will not serve as the hole page submitter but rather a submitter of a specific section.
Place a ValidationGroup on the RequiredFieldValidator's. Then place the same ValidationGroup on the correct submit button. When its clicked, only validation controls that are a part of the group are validated.

I think janhartmann is correct ValidationGroup can help you solve the issue.Have a look at this article

I have some input fields, regular expression validators, and custom validators inside an ASP.NET ASCX control. The behavior is a bit odd in that it works the following way:
If a client side validator flags an error message and I tab away from the input field and click submit then the page posts as it should. However, if a client side validator has flagged an error and instead I correct the error and click submit button then the error is cleared but the page is not submitted until I click the submit button a second time.
My question is how do I change this behavior such that I only need to click the submit button once to both clear the error and postback the page? Also, is this "behavior" standard?
Update: This behavior occurs without using the user control. I believe it is specific behavior to the CompareValidator. Nope, same behavior occurs with custom validator. If I don't "tab away" and click the button then I must click it twice to get the postback to occur. The first click just clears the validators.
The issue is that the CustomValidator has display type as Dynamic and not Static. This post helped me to discover the answer
RequiredFieldValidator have to click twice
I will give credit for anyone who explains why it causes this behavior.
I have a little problem with the validation in one form
the form is composed by two taqs. There is a "Save" button in each tap (is the same control for both) and saves the form info. there are validation controls in one tab but not in the second. When we try to save the info from the second tab, and the info has not been filled in the first tab, the validators fire, and nothing happends, but because this validators are shown in the other tab, the end user might be thinking that the operation has been completed, instead, I would like to show a msgBox telling the user about the errors in the other tab. How do I know that the validators in the other tab have been fired, and display the error message when the button is clicked?
You should use the ValidationGroup of your validator controls and the appropriate submit button. You can also use a ValidationSummary control which displays a summary of the validation messages - this can be set to display a message box if you want by setting the property ShowMessageBox=true.
taqs - tap
dear why are you so confused?
All the validators are posted to the page as JavaScript functions. You can call the validation function on button's click and take the appropriate action.
You can use on buttons
onClientClick="Page_ClientValidate();"
I have an ASP.NET entry form where several controls have validation set up. The form also includes a display of previous records, each with a LinkButton control that acts as a delete button. Problem is when a LinkButton is clicked, it performs validation on the entry portion of the form, fails, and the delete is not processed. I didn't write this form and I'm not up on the validation controls, and I'm just adding the delete buttons, so how would I work around this?
Set CausesValidation to false for the control in question?
Are you saying that there are buttons on the form that when clicked are causing validation to take place...and that these buttons should not peform the validation?
If so, then you probably need to group all the controls and buttons that are part of the validation. To do this you set the 'ValidationGroup' property for each control involved in the validation (this includes the buttons that fire off the validation).
This should stop buttons that are not part of the validation, firing the validation process.

I have one aspx page that has two UserControls on it; each is primarily a ModalPopupExtender. One has validators; one does not. The one that does not has a Submit button with the CausesValidation="false" attribute on it.
When that Submit button is clicked, nothing happens. Click it again, and the postback happens as expected. There is clearly some validation issue going on here, because if I remove all validators from the page, the postback succeeds on the first click.
What's going on here?
Without seeing the code, I can't say this for certain, but it sounds like you may need to utilize the validation groups. The validation group would be set on the validation components as well as the button that posts back the page.
Make sure that the buttons that show the ModalPopups are marked CausesValidation=false as well. What was happening was that the "Show Dialog" button for the non-validating dialog was not marked this way; this was causing the entire page to validate when that dialog was shown - including the other dialog, which did have validation and was failing it. This caused the Submit button to fail for apparently no reason.
Moral of the story: Make sure to use CausesValidation on any buttons that don't require it, and use Validation Groups to separate out various page parts, especially when parts of the page are not visible.
Have you tried removing the OK button property from the modal popup?
I have what should be a fairly simple ASP.NET question, and one I thought I had found a workaround for in the past, but this time I'm having no end of bother trying to get a working solution for it.
I have an ASP.NET page with a number of input controls and a series of form validators for them. I wish the page to have separate forms where only some validators are fired by submit button A and others are fired by submit button B. An example would be a site that included a site search box with validation, and a comments section or form to fill in on the same page. When submitting comments you would not want the search validation to fire, and when running a search you would not want the comment form validators to fire.
What I need is a kind of 'validation panel', or separate form tags to enclose these sections in. Can anyone help?
You can use ValidationGroup property for this.
But don't forget, you can not have more then one form in your asp.net page.
