Form field error

Hello

I am getting the following error in a 'confirm new password' field. The error is:

Server Error in '/' Application.
The ControlToValidate property of 'PasswordConfirmCompareValidator' cannot be blank.

The code (stripped) in my aspx file (VB.NET), looks like this:

<%-- 1st Label/TextBox--%>
<asp:Textbox id="OldPasswordTextbox"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="OldPasswordRequiredValidator" ControlToValidate="OldPasswordTextbox"/>

<%--2nd Label/TextBox--%>

<asp:Textbox id="PasswordTextbox"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="PasswordRequiredValidator" ControlToValidate="PasswordTextbox"/>
<%-- 3rd Label/TextBox--%>
<asp:Textbox id="PasswordConfirmTextbox"/>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="PasswordConfirmRequiredValidator" ControlToValidate="PasswordConfirmTextbox"/>
<asp:CompareValidatorid="PasswordConfirmCompareValidator" ControlToCompare="PasswordTextbox" />

What am I doing wrong, please?

Thanks!

 

Based on what you pasted, I'd hazard a guess that:

HTML:

<asp:CompareValidatorid=<snip/>

should probably be:

HTML:

<asp:CompareValidator id=<snip/>

A complete example for the CompareValidator would be:

HTML:

<asp:CompareValidator id="Compare1"
ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
ControlToCompare="TextBox2"
EnableClientScript="False"
Type="String"
runat="server"/>

(As described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.comparevalidator(v=vs.110).aspx)

 

Thanks Joe - and for the link.

I think the penny has finally dropped now, but what a headache!
