Compare Validator

[A.M]

Hi,

Can I use compare validator to make sure that the value of two text boxes
are the same?

Thanks,
Alan

Yes.

How?
The ValueToCompare property accepts a value. How can I refer it to text
property of another textbox?

Thanks for reply
Alan

If you want to compare a specific input control with another input control,
set the ControlToCompare property to specify the control to compare with.

What a dreadful response. Here is an example.

Password:
<asp:TextBox id="txtPswd" runat="server" text=""></asp:TextBox>

Confirm Password:
<asp:TextBox id="txtPswdConfirm" runat="server" text=""></asp:TextBox>

<asp:CompareValidator
ID="ComparePasswords"
runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Passwords DO NOT Match."
ForeColor="red"
ControlToValidate="txtPswd"
ControlToCompare="txtPswdConfirm">
</asp:CompareValidator>
