Question

In web application, i am try to validate the date by using compare validator. but it is throwing error, This is my code

<asp:CompareValidator 
               ID="CompareValidator1" 
               runat="server" 
               Text="*" 
               Display="None" 
               ValidationGroup ="a" 
               ControlToValidate="txtValidate" 
               ValueToCompare='<%# DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() %>'
               Operator="GreaterThan"   
               Type ="Date" 
               ErrorMessage="Date Should Greater Than Todate">
</asp:CompareValidator>

The error is :

The value ” of the ValueToCompare property of ‘CompareValidator1’
cannot be converted to type ‘Date’.

Answer 1

In your Page_Load method, call Page.DataBind().

This will execute the databinder code when the page is loaded.
