[Solved] RequiredFieldValidator inside CommandItemTemplate

[Lia]

Hello everybody. I'm dealing with the following problem. I have a radgrid inside which I want to have a commandItemTemplate. This has some controls: one of them is a radtextbox. I would like to add a requiredfield validator to the textbox.
When I had the CausesValidation='True' property to a button inside the commandItemTemplate I found out that the event does never get fired.
How can I solve this problem?

P.S. If I put the CausesValidation to False I don't have the problem anymore.

Hello Lia,

If you want to validate the textbox only on clicking a particular button, then you can set the validation group property which specifies that the buttons with CausesValidation = true from the edit form belong to that group. Check out the sample code below:
aspx:

<CommandItemTemplate>
     <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" ValidationGroup="group1" runat="server"></telerik:RadTextBox>
     <asp:CustomValidator ID="CustomValidator1" ValidationGroup="group1"  ControlToValidate="RadTextBox1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Invalid Input" OnServerValidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate">
     </asp:CustomValidator>

     <asp:Button ID="Button1" CausesValidation="false" runat="server" Text="Button1" />
     <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" CausesValidation="true" ValidationGroup="group1" Text="Button2" />
</CommandItemTemplate>

If this does not help, consider pasting your relevant code here.

Thanks
Princy.
