I am using validation controls for input validation, but I would like
to know whether the validation occurs at client side or server side,
dose this cause any round trip.
It has a runat=server property, but I noticed that the validation
almost occurs the same time when I click the submit button.

It happens on both client and server side.

First client side is checked - if passed, then server side validation is
done.
 
so ,if it isn't passed, then won't cause any roundtrip, in other words.
no occupation of bandwith or any cost of server performance. because I
am handle a web site suppose to have a great number customer, the
performance is a key point to my decision.

Exactly - if validation is failed, the postback is canceled.

You can even write your own custom client side scripting using the Custom
Validator.
