GridView CompareValidator Fails
Dear Experts,
I have a GridView inside a panel (see submitted code) with a CompareValidator in a template field. However, when I enter a value that should cause an error and click on Update, it simply accepts the value and saves the record. I have a similar CompareValidator in another GridView on the same page (but not within a panel) and it works fine. Any ideas?
Thanks.

CodeCruiser,
Thanks for the links, though I had already read the first link before you sent it. In fact, I have spent several hours today reading and looking for a solution for my particular problem. I know how to add validation to the GridView. In fact, validation in one of the GridViews is working just fine. However, two other GridViews on the same page that are set up identically don't work. The two that don't work are inside Panel controls, and I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. I only resort to asking questions when my diligent research comes up empty for the problem at hand. I know that sometimes a link can lead to a solution, but in this case, neither one did.

MCallas, Could you send the submitted code? I cannot find it on this question.

I had removed all but the working validator last week. Today, when I added the same validators to the other GridViews, I was careful to duplicate the original with the exception of the control ID's. Everything works as expected. Thanks again for your insight.
