Validation Control Reference Complete Validation Control Reference

Definition and Usage

The CompareValidator control is used to compare the value of one input control to the value of another input control or to a fixed value.

Note: If the input control is empty, the validation will succeed. Use the RequiredFieldValidator control to make the field required.

Display The display behavior for the validation control. Legal values are:

  • Static (the control displays an error message if validation fails. Space is reserved on the page for the message even if the input passes validation.
  • Dynamic (the control displays an error message if validation fails. Space is not reserved on the page for the message if the input passes validation

Examples

CompareValidator
In this example we declare two TextBox controls, one Button control, and one CompareValidator control in an .aspx file. If validation fails, the text "Validation Failed!" will be displayed in red on a yellow background in the CompareValidator control.

CompareValidator 2
In this example we declare two TextBox controls, one ListBox control, one Button control, and one CompareValidator control in an .aspx file. The check_operator() function sets the operator of the CompareValidator control equal to the selected operator in the ListBox control, then it validates the CompareValidator control. If validation fails, the text "Validation Failed!" will be displayed in red on a yellow background in the CompareValidator control.
