I have a little problem while working with Validation Controls in extensive
forms... When the user reaches the end, and something is wrong, it just
highlights the messages (a client-side script)... But, if the field is on
the top of the form, and the user doesn't search, and keep clicking on the
button, he will think that there's a problem on the form...
I would like to know how could I implement a way that the click button does
a postback, and then, if the IsValid variable is wrong, the correct messages
are show....
Thanks,
Rafa
 
Turn off the client side validation for each control and check IsValid() in
your CodeBehind. You can use a ValidationSummary control to get all of the
problems and pass it back to the client as a list of problems.

NOTE: .NET always does a server side check, even if you never use it, with
every validation. As clever hackers get around client side validation, it is
always a good thing to check IsValid() every time, even if you have client
side validation turned on.
