How do I bypass a validator when button pressed

[Duanw]

Hi All

I have an webpage which contains a form. On the form are two buttons. One button will need some input from various asp:textboxes with required field validators. Once clicked, the page posts back to itself, adding a record to the datagrid below it. It has a statement that checks that all fields are completed.

"If Page.IsValid = True Then"

The other button is supposed to just link to the shopping cart, showing the items inside it. But when I click the 'Submit' button, the required field validators do not allow me to continue. This event does not contain the

If Page.IsValid = True Then" statement

How can I bypas the validators when the 'Submit' is pressed.

Thank you all in advance.

Have a look into ValidationGroup's. They allow you to assign each control to a particular group and therefore allowing your second button to do whatever it needs without triggering the validation that is required for the first button to continue.

Also on the second button you can simpy set the CausesVailidation = FALSE.
