What is a CompareValidatorControl?

CompareValidator is used to make sure that a value matches a specified value. This control is often used when validating passwords. Important properties of this control are .ControlToValidate and .ControlToCompare.

.ControlTovalidate property is used to set the control to be validated and the .ControlToCompare property is used to identify the control to be compared.

To work with this control drag a CompareValidatorControl, a Command Button and two TextBoxes from the ToolBox. The intention is to enter two values the textboxes. If the two values do not match, an error is generated denoting that the values are not alike.

Set the following control properties in CompareValidatorControl; .ControlToCompare property as TextBox1 and .ControltoValidate property as TextBox2.

Run the code and enter some text in both the textboxes and click the button. If both the TextBox values are the same then no error message will arise else an error.
