There are 3 validation groups on the page

Group1
Group2

After validating the groups

Page.Validate("Group1");
Page.Validate("Group2");
Page.Validate("Group3");

Page.IsValid is false

How can I find out which group caused validation to fail and which ones passed?

Check Page.IsValid after each call.

`+1` That's the kind of answer everyone knows, but no-one thinks of. – sshow Jun 23 '10 at 11:41
No. If Group1 fails Page.IsValid is always false after checking Group2 and Group3 even if they are valid. I need to know exactly valid/or not for each group. – RubyWedge Jun 23 '10 at 11:45
Page.IsValid validates all validators in active validation group so you have 2 options. Either set all validators IsValid property to true, or create empty group and validate it before validating your next group – Sergej Andrejev Jun 23 '10 at 12:02

Why not checking right after calling validate?

Page.Validate("Group1");
if (!Page.IsValid)
    return "Group 1 did not validate";

Page.Validate("Group2");
if (!Page.IsValid)
    return "Group 2 did not validate";

Page.Validate("Group3");
if (!Page.IsValid)
    return "Group 3 did not validate";
