Validating grid in Insert mode

[Jugoslav]

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Image Url">
        <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblImageUrl" runat="server" Text='<%# ShortenText.Shorten(Eval("imageURL"), 20) %>' />
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtImageUrl" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("imageURL") %>' /><asp:RequiredFieldValidator
            ID="ImageUrlValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Image URL is required!"
            ControlToValidate="txtImageUrl" Text="*" ValidationGroup="AdvertsGroup" /><asp:RegularExpressionValidator
            ID="ImageUrlValidator1" runat="server"
            ErrorMessage="Image URL can be only image path!" Text="*"
            ControlToValidate="txtImageUrl"
            ValidationExpression="http(s?)://([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(/[\w- ./]*)+\.(?:gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|GIF|JPEG|JPG|PNG|BMP|Gif|Jpg|Jpeg|Png|Bmp)$"
            ValidationGroup="AdvertsGroup" />
        </EditItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Navigate Url">
        <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblNavigateUrl" runat="server" Text='<%# ShortenText.Shorten(Eval("navigateURL"), 20) %>' />
        </ItemTemplate>
        <EditItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtNavigateUrl" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("navigateURL") %>' /><asp:RequiredFieldValidator
                ID="NavigateUrlValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Navigate URL is required!"
                ControlToValidate="txtNavigateUrl" Text="*" ValidationGroup="AdvertsGroup" /><asp:RegularExpressionValidator
                ID="NavigateUrlValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Navigate URL should be valid internet url!"
                ControlToValidate="txtNavigateUrl" Text="*"
                ValidationExpression="http(s)?://([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(/[\w- ./?%&=]*)?" ValidationGroup="AdvertsGroup" />
        </EditItemTemplate>
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Basically they should not be able to insert anything but a valid image path (URL) in the txtImageUrl and valid target url in the txtNavigateUrl fields. Both fields are required. How to achieve that? Obviously the validators i have there are ignored when i click Insert link (insert mode).

Thank you

Hello,

protected void radgrdClass_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem)
                {
                    GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                    ImageButton InsertButton = (ImageButton)editItem.FindControl("PerformInsertButton");
                    InsertButton.ValidationGroup = ""; // set your validation group here

                }
                else
                {
                    GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                    ImageButton updateButton = (ImageButton)editItem.FindControl("UpdateButton");
                    updateButton.ValidationGroup = ""; // set your validation group here
                }
            }

        }

Thanks,

I tried your suggestion AS IS but the AJAX is still spinning without validating the fields.
Do i miss something else maybe? Thanks

This is the solution hopefully it may help to someone else

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCreated
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
            Dim insertupdate As LinkButton
            If TypeOf e.Item Is IGridInsertItem Then
                insertupdate = CType(e.Item.FindControl("PerformInsertButton"), LinkButton)
            Else
                insertupdate = CType(e.Item.FindControl("UpdateButton"), LinkButton)
            End If
            insertupdate.ValidationGroup = "AdvertsGroup" ' set your validation group here
        End If
    End Sub

And of course thanks to Jayesh Goyani he pointed me in right direction. Thank you
