RequiredFieldValidator and Page.Response.Redirect

[RobertTackett]

I have created a web page that has a textbox with a RequiredFieldValidator assigned to it, one button for posting the form and adding the value to a database and another button for redirecting the user to another page. The redirect button won't work unless I enter a value in the textbox or remove the RequiredFieldValidator. I would like to validate the field only in the case of a post and not when the user wants to go to another page. Can you help me please

Thank you

Hi,

the button which shouldn't cause validation, can be set with
CausesValidation="False" attribute.
