Answer 1

Add Validation Group property in each control. Then add validation group property in appropriate button. So when u click on button only than button validation group controls get validated. e.g

 <table width="400px">
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 80px;">
                Name :
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" ValidationGroup="tab1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" ValidationGroup="tab1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 80px;">
                Father Name
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtFatherName" ValidationGroup="tab1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" ValidationGroup="tab1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 80px;">
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:Button ID="btnValidate" runat="server" Text="Validate" ValidationGroup="tab1" 
                    Width="80px" OnClick="btnValidate_Click" />
            </td>
        </tr>           
    </table>
