  CompareValidator does not exist in the current context

  Jan 26, 2013 11:49 PM|LINK

  Hi.  I am using VS2012 C# and IE9.

  I get this error when trying validate a text box with a date in the format of 20130126. 

  Below is the control snippet.

  <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidatorDateEntered" Operator="GreaterThanEqual" Type="Date" ControlToValidate="DateEntered" ErrorMessage="Invalid date" runat="server" />

  Below is page_load.

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  CompareValidatorDateEntered.ValueToCompare = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyymmdd");

  }

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.
