How to Ignore the RequiredFieldValidator when i click on Cancel.

[RSB]

Hi every one ,

i am creating this form and i have two asp:Linkbuttons one for save and one
for Cancel.

Now i also have some RequiredFieldValidators on this Form and i only want to
Execute those once i click on Save but not when i click Cancel.

Also for the Cancel button i am executing some code at the Server to take
some actions.

please help.
Thanks

RSB

Hi RSB,

The solution is again very simple. If you are dont want to execute any
validators getting fired you can set the causes validation to false for the
cancel linkbutton, this will allow you to post the form without the
validators getting fired.

You may also try disabling the validators which you dont want to get fired
on client side using javascript on the click of cancel link button. This
exercise of disabling the validators you also need to do on the
btncancel_click on server and proceed with what all validations you want to
do on the server.

Set the CausesValidation property of the Cancel button to false .

What if...

Hi.

I have this exact same setup, and I do have CausesValidation set to false on my cancel button. The trouble is, when I click cancel, I still get the validation message. Changing the cancel button's Validation group didn't help either.

Any suggestions will be welcome.
