GridView & CauseValidation

W

WhiskeyRomeo

I working through a book on ASP.Net, I added a GridView and SQLDataSource.
Everything worked as expected upon debugging. The rows were displayed with
the Update and Delete buttons on each row. Upon pressing update button on a
row the row did go into edit mode. Changine a few fields and pressing Update
resulted in nothing happening.

In looking at the book's solution is has a entry for each command button as
follows:

CausesValidation="False"

Adding this property to each command button results in the GridView working
properly. It is as if this line should say AutoPostBack="True".

If this property is required, why isn't automatically entered when dropping
a GridView on the design surface?

If you set CauseValidation="True", again the Update button does not cause a
postback even if you turn the updatable columns into template columns and
create a RequiredField validator for each.

correct forum.
