Can you validate a usercontrol property with a CompareValidator?

[Dave]

Is there a way to validate a usercontrol's property from the page hosting the
control using a comparevalidator control? such as?

<asp:CompareValidator id="cvStartDate" runat="server" ControlToValidate="how
to reference a usercontrol's property here??"
Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Date" ErrorMessage="Please enter a valid start
date mm/dd/yyyy)." EnableClientScript="False">
</asp:CompareValidator>
