Validation plays a key role whenever we take a inputs from the user. For this, ASP.NET provides us few validator controls that are used a lot in web applications.
Now a days, in our application, we used to have several section in our web pages.
And also, we populate some data based on the user’s input.
So several times, it requires  to validate the page partially not the entire page,
while earlier we used to have single submit button and their we need to validate the page.

AJAX also played a key role, for partial post back, initiate a call to server etc, which requires to validate a part of the page.

So in these scenarios our earlier approach of validation would not work.
In this kind of scenario, I will discuss few things that will be very helpful.

First, I would suggest, to divide your page in some logical section, those you might need to validate at certain points. And assign a different group name to the validators on those section.

1) If you are initiating an ajax call or initiating a callback from java-script, and you want to validate certain section/part of the page.

So before initiating the ajax call, you need to validate the user inputs. This can be easily with the following method.

You need to call Page_ClientValidate() method, this method has two flavors,
– Page_ClientValidate() it fires all the validators on the page and returns false, if it fails
– Page_ClientValidate(‘groupname’), this method fires all the validators having the passed groupname and returns false if any validator fails.
This is quite useful, while validating partial section/part of the page. So your java script code may look like this

function SaveAddress()
{
	if(Page_ClientValidate('groupname') == false)
		return false;
	else
	{
		//Save Address
	}
}

2) Several time, it happens, that based on some requirement, we used to hide some section of input form or hide some input control, but whenever page/section is going to be submitted, the hidden validators also gets fired. So to overcome this problem, you may need to disable the validators. So to disable any validator from javascript as

document.getElementById('ValidatorClientId').enabled=false;

So these validator wont be fired till you gain enable it. You can enable it as

document.getElementById('ValidatorClientId').enabled=true;

Hope you all will like this post and will found it to be useful.
