---

Sets or retrieves the display mode of the validation summary.

Inline	<asp:validationsummary displaymode = enumValue ... >
Script	ValidationSummary.DisplayMode [ = enumValue ]

enumValue

String specifying one of the ValidationSummaryDisplayMode enum values.

The property is read/write with a default value of BulletList.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentException	The given display mode was not one of the ValidationSummaryDisplayMode enum values.

Use this property to specify the display format of a ValidationSummary control. The summary may be displayed as a list, as a bulleted list, or as a single paragraph.

The following shows how to declaratively set the DisplayMode property of a ValidationSummary control at design time.

<asp:validationsummary runat = "server" 
   displaymode = "list"
   forecolor = "blue" ... />

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically set the DisplayMode property at run time, based on a selected value. This simple script changes the display mode of the validator summary control named dispSumm when a new option is selected from the dropdownlist named dispMode.

void chgMode ( Object src, EventArgs E ) {
   dispSumm.DisplayMode = ( ValidationSummaryDisplayMode )  dispMode.SelectedIndex;
}
