CustomValidator causes loss of data

[Jarrod Marshall]

Hello,
I'm working through a current problem with a page that utilizes a RadGrid along with CustomValidator ASP.NET controls.

When an item is edited inline, the client side validators still somehow allow a postback to occur via 

GridEditCommandColumn

 

column. When this happens, validation fails on the server side and any posted back changes to the form are completely lost (even cells which contained valid data).

I'd like to either be able to 1) Stop the postback on the client side as it *HAS* failed validation or 2) maintain the row's values after the canceled update attempt has occured.

Has anyone seen similar behavior? All client side validation does is set the args.IsValid to true or false and I can confirm this works - but showhow it just allows me to still click the update command item image.

Hi,

Please take a look at the link below on how to perform client side validation using Custom Validator.

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/073102-1.aspx

I have tried the example using the Inplace edit mode and it does not postback at my end.

Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any more queries.

Thanks,

Princy

I'm having a similar issue, however I need access to the server side in order to validate the control properly. Is there any other workaround besides using client side validation?
