Use the BaseValidator.Display property to specify the display behavior of the error message in the validation control. The following table lists the different values that can be used.
None |
The validation message is never displayed inline. |
Static |
Space for the validation message is allocated in the page layout. |
Dynamic |
Space for the validation message is dynamically added to the page if validation fails. |
The display behavior depends on whether client-side validation is performed. If client-side validation is not active (because the browser does not support it or because it has been disabled by using the System.Web.UI.Page.ClientTarget page directive or BaseValidator.EnableClientScript property), ValidatorDisplay.Static and ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic behave the same way: the error message takes up space only if it is displayed. The ability to dynamically allocate space for the message when it is not being displayed (ValidatorDisplay.Dynamic) only works with client-side validation.
This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see System.Web.UI.ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes Overview.
