2.0: CompareValidator with Type

[R.A.M.]

Hello,
(Sorry for my English...)
Could you help me please? I have a problem with CompareValidator
control which makes the load of my page infinitive. Here's the code:

Date of birth: <asp:TextBox ID="BirthDate" runat="server" />
<asp:CompareValidator ID="BirthDateValidation" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="BirthDate" Type="Date"
Text="Enter date of birth!" /><br />

Without CompareValidator pages loads correctly. After adding this
control load process does not end.
Could you explain me the problem please?

Thank you very much!
/RAM/

You need to set the Operator property as DataTypeCheck for the
CompareValidator to work.
Also remember the CompareValidator will not be fired if your textbox is left
empty. You will be better off adding the requiredfieldvalidator in addition
to the CompareValidator
