I’d like a way to both show an asterisk by an invalid field and show a verbose message in a validation summary. However, setting Display to ‘NONE’ in the validation control suppresses any message that would appear next to the field to validate.

Is there a way to get this kind of hybrid function?

  1. Yes.

    Set the text property to ‘*’ and the ErrorMessage property to the actual error message. Something like.

    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator id='ValidateMyField' runat='server' text='*'  errormessage='Hey, you must really specify something'  controltovalidate='YourControl' />

    For the display you can use display='Dynamic' to have the * only take up space on an actual error.
