ValidationCompareOperator

String specifying one of the ValidationCompareOperator values.

The property is read/write with a default valueof Equal.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentException	The given value is not one of the ValidationCompareOperator values.

Use the Operator property to specify the comparison operation to perform.

Setting the Operator property to DataTypeCheck will just validate to the specified Type. No comparison to ControlToCompare or ValueToCompare is made.

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically set the Operator property of a CompareValidator at run time, based on a selected value.

void setOperator ( Object src, EventArgs e ) {
   compValidator.Operator = ( ValidationCompareOperator ) ListOperator.SelectedIndex;
   compValidator.Validate ( );
}
