How to avoid server side validation on client side click event? [modified]

[Affan Toor]

Hi every body! I am developing application in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I have a page with few text boxes, i attached some required field and regular expression validators with text boxes. there are two buttons on page, one is "Submit" and other is "Cancel". when user clicks "Submit" button validators validate the conrols and every thing goes fine, i called client side click event on "Cancel" button which resets the values in text boxes. the problem is that when i press "Cancel" button the validators comes to action and gives error. Can any body tell me how to tackle this problem? Thanks in advance... Regards, Affan Ahmad Toor

Did you consider setting CausesValidation to false for the cancel button?

You need to check ValidationGroup property. Set same validation group name for your validators and submit button. Don't set any validation group for cancel button. This will solve the problem.
