Thanks Ishai. This also does the trick. Is one preferred over the other?
if (SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.Display)
{
// Do something
}
else
{
// Do the other thing

I was getting the correct mode. The final solution involved disabling the RegularExpressionValidator by default - and adding an ELSE clause! Without it, validation was ALWAYS set to true. Don't ask me why!! // Get the current display mode of the WPM WebPartManager wp = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Page); String mode = wp.DisplayMode.Name; // Enable validation in BrowseDisplayMode only if (wp.DisplayMode == WebPartManager.BrowseDisplayMode) { reqJournal.Enabled = true; } else { reqJournal.Enabled = false; lblMsg.Text = "<span style=\"color:red\"><strong>" + mode + " mode</strong>: Validation is disabled.</span>"; } From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Ishai Sagi Sent: Tuesday, 24 January 2012 12:17 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Prevent WP field Validation in Edit Mode Try to check the form mode, not the display mode. SPContext.Current.Form.Mode or something like it is what you should be checking. No need for web part manager.

I know that the display mode is being correctly determined because the CauseValidation attribute is being added to the field. However it's not preventing validation from occurring. Maybe setting the validator's ControlToValidate valuer to "" would be more reliable?? protected void Page_Load(object Sender, EventArgs e) { // Get the current display mode of the WPM WebPartManager wp = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(this.Page); if (!Page.IsPostBack) { // Disable validation in Edit or Design Mode if (wp.DisplayMode == WebPartManager.EditDisplayMode || wp.DisplayMode == WebPartManager.DesignDisplayMode) { // In Edit or Design Mode txtJournal.Attributes.Add("CausesValidation", "false"); } } } Kind regards, Paul Noone --------------------------------------------------- Online Developer/SharePoint Administrator Infrastructure Team, ICT Catholic Education Office, Sydney p: (02) 9568 8461 f: (02) 9568 8483 e: paul.no...@ceosyd.catholic.edu.au<mailto:paul.no...@ceosyd.catholic.edu.au> w: http://www.ceosyd.catholic.edu.au/
