I need my end date to be always greater than start date, I tried validation using CompareValidator.
Code is as follows:
I have a text box start date
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtStartDate"
runat="server" />
<asp:CalendarExtender Enabled="True"
ID="TxtStartDate_CalendarExtender"
TargetControlID="TxtStartDate"
runat="server" />
Another TextBox End date.
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtEndDate"
runat="server" />
<asp:CalendarExtender Enabled="True"
ID="TxtEndDate_CalendarExtender"
TargetControlID="TxtEndDate"
runat="server" />
<asp:CompareValidator ControlToCompare="TxtStartDate"
ControlToValidate="TxtEndDate"
Display="Dynamic"
ErrorMessage="CompareValidator"
ID="CompareValidator1"
Operator="GreaterThan"
Type="Date"
runat="server" />
But the compare field validator misfires.
For example when start date is 2/04/2012 and end date is 10/04/2012 it fires.
Simply you can try like this
<asp:CompareValidator ID="cmpVal1" ControlToCompare="txtStartDate"
ControlToValidate="txtEndDate" Type="Date" Operator="GreaterThanEqual"
ErrorMessage="*Invalid Data" runat="server"></asp:CompareValidator>
