Set the text-decoration property to blink.
Try this:

C#

Label26.Attributes.Add("style", "text-decoration:blink"); //In page_load event.

Hi,
Blinking text using CSS is not supported in all browsers.
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/playit.asp?filename=playcss_text-decoration&preval=blink[^]

But you can do some tweaking to achive this functionality using JavaScript.

JavaScript

function blinkFont()
{
  document.getElementById("blink1").style.color="red"
  setTimeout("setblinkFont()",1000)
}

function setblinkFont()
{
  document.getElementById("blink1").style.color=""
  setTimeout("blinkFont()",1000)
}
