form validitor execution

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a web form with a bunch of textboxes, drop down lists, etc.

The form also has 5 command server side buttons.
When ever a user clicks on a button it fires off the form validators.

Depending on the current state of the form and the button that is pushed, I
am using server side code to stop the validators from stopping execution.

Without using server side code or client side javascript, are there advanced
forms validators that can be linked to specific command buttons?

thanks

Chris

ASP.NET 2.0 has new features such as Validation Groups that give you finer
granularity over what gets validated under what circumstances.

Here's more info:

The Validation Groups feature is the best way to handle this. My replacement
to ASP.NET's validators, Professional Validation And More
(http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx) also provides Validation Groups
support and it works with ASP.NET 1.x.

There is no client-side solution for ASP.NET 1.x other than that. The only
solutions are painful hacks or using server side code.
