Examples

Remarks

Use this property to specify the initial value of the input control.

Validation fails only if the value of the associated input control matches this InitialValue upon losing focus.

Note

The strings in both the InitialValue property and the input control are trimmed to remove extra spaces before and after the string before validation is performed.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
