Question

I am able to provide validations for the controls in grid view but those validations are also applied to the controls in the form.

My question is how can those validations can be confined to controls in gridview only?

i am using inbuilt commandfield (edit,update,cancel) as edit button. when i set property causevalidations to true for the commandfiled, it triggers validation not only to controls in gridview but also to the rest of the form.

coudl you help..

Specify ValidationGroups for the controls in the GridView(e.g. VG_Update).
