[Solved] CausesValidation False for Update linkbutton when using InPlace Edit mode

[Casey]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble in setting the CausesValidation property of the update button to false while in InPlace edit mode. I've tried the following, but 'update' is always null. This is in the Item_Created event and I have tried placing it in the Item_Command event when Command_Name = "Edit".

if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            LinkButton update = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("UpdateButton");
            update.CausesValidation = false;
        }

Thanks,
Casey

Hello Casey,

The Edit Command is too early an event to access the elements in the edit row, since then the elements would not be rendered. Instead, you can place the same code in the ItemCreated / ItemDataBound event of the grid.

Hope this helps..
