Causes Validation

[Dayekh]

How can I stop my Dropdown from causing validation? The dropdown has AutoPostBack = True. Every time I submit the form, the page is being validated from the top and therefore saving records fails :( Any ideas? Thank you.

Is the CausesValidation property of the dropdownlist set to False? It should default to false.

The doesn't have that property :(. At least the one I have doesn't have it.

In asp.net 2.0 System.Web.Ui.WebControls.DropDownList does have the property. Which version are you using?

Strange, I just tried this in a 1.1 app that I have and the dropdownlist did not cause the validation. Just a guess but do you have a custom validator without the control to validate property set?

No I haven't. They all have the ControlToValidate property set. I'm still looking into it. It is very strange. Every time I try to submit the form, it restarts the page. Maybe this isn't due to the dropdown? I will investigate..
