BaseCompareValidator::Compare Method (String^, Boolean, String^, Boolean, ValidationCompareOperator, ValidationDataType)
Compares two strings using the specified operator and validation data type. This version of the overload allows you to specify whether values are compared using a culture-neutral format.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
protected: static bool Compare( String^ leftText, bool cultureInvariantLeftText, String^ rightText, bool cultureInvariantRightText, ValidationCompareOperator op, ValidationDataType type )
Parameters
- leftText
-
Type:
System::String^
The value on the left side of the operator.
- cultureInvariantLeftText
-
Type:
System::Boolean
true to convert the left side value to a culture-neutral format; otherwise, false.
- rightText
-
Type:
System::String^
The value on the right side of the operator.
- cultureInvariantRightText
-
Type:
System::Boolean
true to convert the right side value to a culture-neutral format; otherwise, false.
- op
-
Type:
System.Web.UI.WebControls::ValidationCompareOperator
One of the ValidationCompareOperator values.
- type
-
Type:
System.Web.UI.WebControls::ValidationDataType
One of the ValidationDataType values.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the leftValue parameter relates to the rightValue parameter in the manner specified by the op parameter; otherwise, false.
The Compare(String^, Boolean, String^, Boolean, 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.
Note |
|---|
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. |
To indicate that values should be compared using a culture-neutral format, pass in true for the cultureInvariantLeftText and cultureInvariantRightText parameters; otherwise, the values are compared using the format used by the current culture. When comparing values using the format used by the current culture, consider using the BaseCompareValidator::Compare(String^, String^, ValidationCompareOperator, ValidationDataType) overloaded version of this method.
