validating groups of user controls

[nicholas]

got 1 asp.net page with 1 webform

on that webform there are 2 textboxes and 2 buttons

each button submits the associated textbox.
each button should validate only the associated textbox

problem is that in asp.net 1.1 the whole page is validated.

any ideas ??

thx

Yes, don't use validator controls. Write your own javascript to do the
validation in the click event for the button.

Validation Groups are a new feature in 2.0 to address this problem.

ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2 will be out very soon. It comes with a go live license
which legally allows you to run it on a production server. This is very much
like what people did with v1.x and IMO it's stable enough at this point to
do this. RTM will be 4-6 months after B2. If you're able I'd suggest getting
it and testing. There are many new features, and some of them are really
good, even
