How can I display which fields still need to be filled in using ASP.NET and C#?

Question

I'm currently working on a web form in Visual Studio 2010 using C# and ASP.NET. It's a simple form - an online application - with several required fields. I already have regular expressions and required field validators in place, which display red asterisks when a field is left blank, but they're relatively hard to see.

Our users are a bunch of cowboys and ranch hands, so they'll just keep clicking 'Continue' if they don't immediately see what they're missing.

Is there a way to print at the bottom of the page which fields are missing?

Thanks in advance, Ellie

Place the ValidationSummary contol right above the buttons at the end of the form.
