title: Get ValidationSummary Error Text from Code Behind
body: <p>and thank you for reading this!</p>
  
  <p>I may be looking right past the answer for this, or it may be that it was never designed to happen since ValidationSummary is client-side logic, but is there any way to retrieve the error text of a validation summary field in ASP.NET from the C# code-behind? The goal here is to construct a message that includes various information entered by the user, plus any errors that might be preventing that user from completing an operation.</p>
  
  <p>It's fine if it can't be done since I am not expecting client side validation to be much of an issue for users in this program, but it would be nice to include for the sake of completion. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
