Remarks

Use the ValidationGroup property to specify the validation group to validate when a button in a ButtonFieldBase object is clicked. Only the validation controls in the specified validation group are validated.

Note

The CausesValidation property must be set to true for the ValidationGroup property to have an effect.

For more information on validation groups, see BaseValidator.ValidationGroup.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
