[Solved] validation on formview with radgrid

[COURTNEY LYNCH]

I have a formview insert with several required field validators.  Below that I have a radgrid with edit and updates enabled.  On update of the grid, how do I prevent the required fields in my formview from validating and preventing the update?  Appreciate any help!

Hi,

I am afraid whether I understood your question correctly. If you want to prevent required fields in the formview from validating on clicking the Update button you may set the CausesValidation property of the Update button to false.

 <asp:Button ID="Button2" CausesValidation="false" runat="server" Text="Update" />

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  The problem is that when I click update in the radgrid, it tries to validate the formview's required fields.  I have tried changing the causes validation on the update linkbutton in the radgrid to false, but it still tries to validate the formview fields. I'm using the formview for insert only.   Appreciate your help.

Okay, using validation groups seems to work.  Sorry, I'm a newbie!
