required field validator not canceling update in listview edititemtemp 1

[jordanking]

hello,

I have a required field validator (rfvFeatureTitle) and a validation summary inside of the edit item template in a listview control. When the text box that is being validted is empty, the error text will appear next to the text box, but it will not stop the update action of the listview control. Therefore the page throws an error about the undelying table not being able to have nulls in the given field.

The listview has a LINQ data source to a sql table.

here is the code for the aspx page:

<EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:HiddenField ID="hfPromoID" runat="server" Value='<%# Bind("intPromoID") %>' />
                <asp:ValidationSummary ID="vsFeatureEdit" runat="server" ValidationGroup="FeatureEdit" />
                <div class="Promo_Edit_Title">
                Featured Product Title: 
                <asp:TextBox ID="chrTitleEdit" runat="server" Width="150" Text='<%# Bind("chrTitle") %>' />
                    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvFeatureTitle" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Please Enter a Title" ControlToValidate="chrTitleEdit" Text="*" ValidationGroup="FeatureEdit"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>    
                </div>
                <br />
                <div class="floatLeft">
                    <asp:Image ID="img_promo1" runat="server" CssClass="Promo_img" ImageUrl='<%# "~/Gallery/Promo/" + Eval("chrPicURL") %>' />                                
                    <br />
                    Priority:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="intPriorityTextBox" runat="server" Width="20px" 
                        Text='<%# Bind("intPriority") %>' />
                    <br />  <br />                   
                    Teaser:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="chrTeaserTextBox" runat="server" Width="450px"
                        Text='<%# Bind("chrTeaser") %>' />
                    <br /><br />
                    Full Description:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="chrDescriptionTextBox" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"  Width="600px" Height="100px"
                        Text='<%# Bind("chrDescription") %>' />
                    <br /><br />                               
                </div>
                
                <div class="Promo_Bottom">
                    <asp:Button ID="UpdateButton" runat="server" CommandName="Update" 
                        Text="Update" />
                    <asp:Button ID="CancelButton" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel" 
                        Text="Cancel" />

                </div>
                <br />
                <br />
            </EditItemTemplate>

can anyone tell me why the update action still occurs and the validation summary shows nothing

any help is greatly appreciated

Try adding ValidationGroup="FeatureEdit" to your Update button

thanks jbenson,

an obvious oversight, after the fact that is. Works now
