    Bypass validation on cancel

    Can anyone point me to some documentation on bypassing validation controls
    when a user selects cancel?

    What I have is a user control with a form to fill out information on a
    subject. The user should be presented with two buttons a "Submit" and a
    "Cancel". When the "Cancel" button is selected all of the items on the user
    control should be cleared. However, I have validation controls setup for
    each item necessary on the form and when hitting cancel all of the
    validation controls activate preventing cancel from being activated. How
    can I make this button "bypass" the validation sequence so that just the
    form is cleared?

    This seems like it would need to be a javascript handled event on the client
    side so that it acts like a 'clear' method and doesn't actually submit
    anything. I could write that in to the application but I'm wondering if
    there is a way to do this in ASP.NET "style" without having to introduce
    javascript.

    Thanks,
    Corey

      Corey,

      I had the same problem but if you set the CauseValidation property of the
      cancel button to False your problem is solved.
