Yes, I like Thomas’s solution. I didn’t have to handle any events, just set the validation group on the form that is outside the grid and the button that submits that form. That worked very well. Thanks for the post!

Very good advice, thank you! Prevented me from some long code writing.

Sandeep is wrong, you can not edit ’causes validation’ tag of buttons in commandfields.

This helped me out a lot, but it led me to what I believe is a better solution — put the form elements you don’t want validated when gridview links are clicked in their own validation group.

set cause validation property of the button to
false
