How do I turn off validation?

[jm]

I have an ASP .NET page with three DataGrids. On one of the datagrids
there are several vaildators. On another grid there is a button that
does something else (changes data in a database). The problem is that
that button causes the validator for the other grid to fire, as they
are on the same form. But I don't want to validate any data; I don't
want the validators to fire at all. I would enable=false them, in my
button, but the validators fire before the button' script client and
server. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi

In the second dataGrid you can modify the CausesValidation property (=false)
of the button so the button don't cause the validation of the first grid.

Here an example:

Set CausesValidation property to false for the button that
you don't want to cause validation.

HTH,

Thank you both very much!
