Error message is not showing up as expected

Question

[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress, ErrorMessage = "A Valid Email Address is Required.")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Email Address is Required.")]
public string email { get; set; }

<div class="row">
    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.email, "Email:")
    @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.email, new { @Style = "height:20px; width:300px; resize:none;", id = "emailV" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.email)
</div>

I'm putting in a false email on purpose so the error message shows up on the page but it never does and if I leave it blank then the required error message shows up as expected. How can I get the valid email address error to show up on the page as well instead of just throwing an exception?

I just wrote random letters just to see if the error would be thrown or not — Franklin Joseph Moormann, Apr 18 '14 at 07:15

Try

[EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "A Valid Email Address is Required.")]

instead of

[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress, ErrorMessage = "A Valid Email Address is Required.")]
