Question

I’ve got two textboxes (NewPassword and ConfirmedPassword) with TextMode=Password and Compare Validator doesn’t detect if they aren’t equal. Page.IsValid is always true. If I remove password mode from my textboxes, everything works and validator show message, that they aren’t equal. How can I make this work in password mode?

You should show us your code since this works as expected:

  <asp:TextBox id="NewPassword" runat="server"
      TextMode="Password" />

  <asp:TextBox id="ConfirmedPassword" runat="server"
      TextMode="Password" />

  <asp:CompareValidator id="comparePasswords" 
      runat="server"
      ControlToCompare="NewPassword"
      ControlToValidate="ConfirmedPassword"
      ErrorMessage="Your passwords do not match up!"
      Display="Dynamic" />

Maybe you’ve mixed up ControlToCompare and/or ControlToValidate.
