ASP.NET - Separate validation of two forms on one page?

Question

Hi all,

I have what should be a fairly simple ASP.NET question, and one I thought I had found a workaround for in the past, but this time I'm having no end of bother trying to get a working solution for it.

I have an ASP.NET page with a number of input controls and a series of form validators for them. I wish the page to have separate forms where only some validators are fired by submit button A and others are fired by submit button B. An example would be a site that included a site search box with validation, and a comments section or form to fill in on the same page. When submitting comments you would not want the search validation to fire, and when running a search you would not want the comment form validators to fire.

What I need is a kind of 'validation panel', or separate form tags to enclose these sections in. Can anyone help?

Best Regards, David.

You can use ValidationGroup property for this.

But don't forget, you can not have more then one form in your asp.net page.
