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.
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.
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.
