Multiple validationgroups on one page

[timj]

Anyone suggestions how to cleanly realize a page with multiple validationsumma ries that display only the messages of controls that belong to the same validationgroup ?

So for example three validators that belong to validationgroup 'test1' only display in validationsumma ry with validationgroup 'test1', and three other validators (vg = 'test2') at the same time display only in another validationsumma ry (vg = 'test2')

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried setting the ValidationSumma ry's ValidationGroup property?

Hi Frinavale,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have set the ValidationGroup property on the summary and the validators.

But the .NET validators and validationgroup properties aren't designed
to be used like this. But I was wondering how to extend the
validators to support something like this.

        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ValidationGroup="aaa"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator><br />
        &nbsp;<asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary1" runat="server" ValidationGroup="aaa" />
        <br />
        <br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox2"
            ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator" ValidationGroup="bbb"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator><br />
        <asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary2" runat="server" ValidationGroup="bbb" />
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /></div>
