Validation in a datagrid

[Jason]

I have created a datagrid with several template columns and included
validation controls in the template columns. I also have a button column
with edit-update-cancel.

When the datagrid item is in editmode I can change the values of the data
with textboxes. If I actually enter data in the textboxes that are being
validated by the validation controls it validates the control and shows the
error summary. However if I never go to the controls being validated and
simply click the update button, the controls are not validated. I'm sure
the update button is set to causesvalidation=true. So I'm not sure what is
happening here.

Thanks,

Jason

My first reaction is that you have not included RequiredFieldValidators on
this page. All other validators will not report an error when textboxes are
blank.
