Using the ValidationSummary Class

As discussed in the In Depth section of this chapter, you can use validation summary controls to display a summary of all validation errors on a Web page, in a message box, or both. This control is supported by the ValidationSummary class; here is the inheritance hierarchy of this class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         ValidationSummary

You can find the notable public properties of ValidationSummary objects in Table 18.11. (This class has no non-inherited methods or events.) Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes—you can find them in Chapter 15, Tables 15.1 to 15.5.
