Message: [QUOTE="daokfella, post: 4257599"] I have a composite control that contains a texbox and comparevalidator (and other stuff not applicable to this post). Right now, it does a simple DataTypeCheck or any comparison to the ValueToCompare property. I've exposed the ValueToCompare and the CompareOperator properties. The control is for a date, so the Type property is permanently set as Date. I'd like to expose the ControlToCompare property, but it won't work because I'll always get the "Cannot find the control referenced by the ControlToCompare property (paraphrased)". I'm assuming this is because the two compared controls are in different INamingContainers. Has anybody found a workaround? I'd like for my custom controls to be able to be compared against each other. My short term workaround is allowing for the internal compare operator to be disabled, and then just using new comparevalidators on the page between the two controls. Also, when setting the ValidationCompare attribute in my custom control, this control id is shown in the dropdown for another's ControlToCompare property. Unfortunately, this is the id of the top level <span> container and not the textbox within the compositecontrol. I thought that was the problem, but even after exposing the textbox ClientId and using that as the ControlToCompare, it still didn't work. Thanks, Jason [/QUOTE]
