CompareValidator.ControlToCompare Property

Gets or sets the input control to compare with the input control being validated.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

[ThemeableAttribute(false)] 
public:
property String^ ControlToCompare {
	String^ get ();
	void set (String^ value);
}
/** @property */
public String get_ControlToCompare ()

/** @property */
public void set_ControlToCompare (String value)

public function get ControlToCompare () : String

public function set ControlToCompare (value : String)

Property Value

The input control to compare with the input control being validated. The default value is String.Empty.

Use the ControlToCompare property to specify an input control, such as a TextBox control, to compare with the input control being validated. If the input control specified by this property is not a control on the page, an exception is thrown.

NoteNote

Do not set both the ControlToCompare and the ValueToCompare property at the same time. You can either compare the value of an input control to another input control, or to a constant value. If both properties are set, the ControlToCompare property takes precedence.

For more information, see BaseValidator.ControlToValidate.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins Overview.
