ASP.NET validation controls provide a common way of tracking validation errors across a series of controls and presenting these errors to the user in a single place by using the
Validation Groups
The ValidationGroup property is a new feature on many controls that allows you to associate individual controls with validation groups and then use multiple ValidationSummary controls to collect and report errors for those groups.
If a validation group is not specified, then validation functionality is equivalent to the validation functionality in ASP.NET versionВ 1.0. If multiple validation groups are specified across multiple controls, then multiple validation summary controls must be displayed because a validation summary displays validation errors only for an individual group.
Controls that post back to the server and that currently have a CausesValidation property also introduce this ValidationGroup property, which determines the group of controls that should be validated when the control causes a postback. If no validation group is specified, the default group, which consists of all validators without an explicit group assignment, is validated.
