EditModePanel hide content in application page

Question

Hello,
I have developed a custom contact form and put it int the footer of the master page of my publishing site. The form let users send to the administrator suggestions that they can have about the site.
I have put all the code of my form contact into an EditModePanel and set it PageDisplayMode property to "display" to not trigger validation rules on my form contact controls when editing the page.
The form is showing correctly in all page of my site except an application page that i have developed, on which my contact form was disappeared.
When i delete the EditModePanel that surround form contact controls , my contact form is showing correctly.
why my form content is not visible ?
Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

hello  Christopher ,
Where i must put your code  ? 
Below my user control code : 
i have tried to put my code into an if check: if ((SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.Display)||
(wpm.DisplayMode.Name.Equals("Browse")))
the form contact is showing on application page but when i edit a publishing page i can not save changes because contact form contains required validation controls.
protected override void DoOnLoad(EventArgs e)
if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
ContactSuggest.Attributes.Add("placeholder", ResourceFiles.Default.GetResourceValue("ContactForm_Suggest"));
HiddenFieldSuggestText.Value = ResourceFiles.Default.GetResourceValue("ContactForm_Suggest");
ContactSend.Text = ResourceFiles.Default.GetResourceValue("ContactForm_Send");
ContactError.Text = "";
string paramValue = string.Empty;
ParametersService ps = new ParametersService(SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb);
string textValue = string.Empty;
if (!ps.TryGetValue(Variables.Parameters.ContactTo, out textValue) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textValue))
ContactSend.Enabled = false;
thanks for help.
