  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Gets or sets the text for the error message displayed in a ValidationSummary control when validation fails.

public:
 property System::String ^ ErrorMessage { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
[System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)]
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; }
[<System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)>]
member this.ErrorMessage : string with get, set
member this.ErrorMessage : string with get, set
Public Property ErrorMessage As String

Property Value

String

The error message displayed in a ValidationSummary control when validation fails. The default value is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.

Implements

ErrorMessage
Attributes
BindableAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ErrorMessage property to specify different messages for the ValidationSummary control and the RequiredFieldValidator and CompareValidator controls.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

When using a ValidationSummary control, use the ErrorMessage property to specify the text to display in the ValidationSummary control when validation fails for the current validation control. To specify the text to display in the validation control itself, use the Text property.

Note

If you set the ErrorMessage property without setting the Text property, the value of the ErrorMessage property is also displayed in the validation control.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
