2 instances of same User control

Question

User-1060593267 posted

Hi,

 

I have 2 instances of same user control on 1 page. Each is activated by click of a separate button. My user control has a textbox and a button(say A). Textbox has a Required Field validator on it. It is validated on click of button A. When i click button A, i get the validation message twice. Is there a way to separate the validation of the same control based on the orginator of the user control?

 

Thanks in advance!

Change the ValdationGroup variable of the button and all the Validation controls to a unique ID,

The best way to do this is to change it to the ID of the user control in it's load method.

for example

VB:
Button1.ValidationGroup = me.ID

C#:
Button1.ValidationGroup = this.ID;
