Using the BaseCompareValidator Class

The BaseCompareValidator class is an abstract base class for a number of validation controls that perform comparisons, such as the comparison validator. Here is the inheritance hierarchy for the BaseCompareValidator class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         Label
            BaseValidator
               BaseCompareValidator

You can find the notable public properties of BaseCompareValidator objects in Table 18.5. (This class has no non-inherited methods or events.) Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes—you can find them in Chapter 15, Tables 15.1 to 15.5. This class inherits the BaseValidator class, which you can find in Tables 18.2 and 18.3, as well as the Label class; the Label class has only one non-inherited public member—the Text property, which holds the text the label displays.
