Show validation messages on formview pageindex changing event

I am updating the current record on the pageindexchanging event on my formview if the page is valid.  If it is not valid I would like it to show the validation control messages where data is not valid; like how it works when you click the Update button.  I'm not sure what command I need to use to do this.  My current code is attached.
Protected Sub fvProjects2_PageIndexChanging(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewPageEventArgs) Handles fvProjects2.PageIndexChanging

        Page.Validate()


        If Page.IsValid Then
            fvProjects2.UpdateItem(True)
        Else


        End If




    End Sub

       If Page.IsValid Then
            fvProjects2.UpdateItem(True)
        Else
           lblMessage.Visible = True
            lblMessage.Text = "data is not valid."
            lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
        End If

Then you create the label on the input form.

That's how I would do it but there are folks here who may have better ideas.
This would be the label on input

<FORM...

<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" Text="Result:" Visible="false"></asp:Label>
</FORM>
Sorry I forgot it

I already have multiple validation controls in my form.  How do I get it to only make visible  the validation controls where the control value that it validates is invalid?  Here is my edititemtemplate.

<EditItemTemplate>
