Answer 1

First thought: (from MSDN)

None The validation message is never displayed inline.

Do you have a Validation Summary?

Second thought:

try to create your validators in the Page_Init event.

Answer 2

I found reason.I call Validate Sub if page.IsPostpact=False.If i call Validate Sub in every postback,it works great.
