true if the leftValue parameter relates to the rightValue parameter in the manner specified by the op parameter; otherwise, false.

The Compare(String^, String^, ValidationCompareOperator, ValidationDataType) method is used to test whether the value of the leftText parameter relates to the value of the rightText parameter in the manner specified by the op parameter. The type parameter specifies the data type of the values being compared.

If the op parameter is set to ValidationCompareOperator.DataTypeCheck, this method tests only the value of the leftText parameter for the data type specified by the type parameter. The rightText parameter is ignored.

This version of the method compares the values using the format used by the current culture. To compare the values using a culture-neutral format, use the BaseCompareValidator::Compare(String^, Boolean, String^, Boolean, ValidationCompareOperator, ValidationDataType) overloaded version of this method.
