Public Property ComparedOperator As ValidateComparisonOperator

Dim instance As CompareValueBaseValidator
Dim value As ValidateComparisonOperator
 
instance.ComparedOperator = value
 
value = instance.ComparedOperator

[SRDescription("Indicates the comparison relationship of the specified value and compared value.")]
[DefaultValue()]
public ValidateComparisonOperator ComparedOperator {get; set;}

Property Value

A ValidateComparisonOperator value. The default is ValidateComparisonOperator.GreaterThan.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException	The assigned value is not a ValidateComparisonOperator value.

Example

The following code example uses the CompareValueValidator to validate whether the original value is greater than 10. A system sound plays to notify you the validation failed. Enter edit mode, type a value, and then press the Enter key to end the edit. Press the Esc key to trigger the CancelRow event. The validation fails because the original value was 9. This example is part of a larger example available for the CellValidator class.

void setCompareValueValidator_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Template template = Template.CreateGridTemplate(1);

            CompareValueValidator compareValueValidator = new CompareValueValidator();
            //Set the RequiredType first, then set other properties.
            compareValueValidator.RequiredType = typeof(int);
            compareValueValidator.ComparedValue = 10;
            compareValueValidator.DifferenceValue = 0;
            compareValueValidator.ComparedOperator = ValidateComparisonOperator.GreaterThan;
            

            SoundNotify soundNotify = new SoundNotify();
            soundNotify.SoundType = SystemSoundType.Asterisk;
            //When cancelling the entire row's editing, the old value is restored.
            soundNotify.DoActionReason = ValidateReasons.CancelRow;

            compareValueValidator.Actions.Add(soundNotify);

            //When using the SoundNotify action, the value 9 is validated.
            template.Row.Cells[0].Value = 9;
            template.Row.Cells[0].Validators.Add(compareValueValidator);

            this.gcMultiRow1.Template = template;
            label.Text = "The CompareValueValidator.ComparedValue is 10, DifferenceValue is 0, ComparedOperator is 
GreaterThan, input a value in the Cell, press ENTER to commit the value (not validate), then press ESC to trigger 
validation (DoActionReason is CancelRow), the old value 9 is restored and validated, validation fails, a sound is played";
        }

VB.NET

setCompareValueValidator.Click
        Dim template As Template = template.CreateGridTemplate(1)

        Dim compareValueValidator As New CompareValueValidator()
        'Set the RequiredType first, then set other properties.
        compareValueValidator.RequiredType = GetType(Integer)
        compareValueValidator.ComparedValue = 10
        compareValueValidator.DifferenceValue = 0
        compareValueValidator.ComparedOperator = ValidateComparisonOperator.GreaterThan


        Dim soundNotify As New SoundNotify()
        soundNotify.SoundType = SystemSoundType.Asterisk
        'When cancelling the entire row's editing, the old value is restored.
        soundNotify.DoActionReason = ValidateReasons.CancelRow

        compareValueValidator.Actions.Add(soundNotify)

        'When using the SoundNotify action, the value 9 is validated.
        template.Row.Cells(0).Value = 9
        template.Row.Cells(0).Validators.Add(compareValueValidator)

        Me.gcMultiRow1.Template = template
        label.Text = "The CompareValueValidator.ComparedValue is 10, DifferenceValue is 0, ComparedOperator is 
GreaterThan, input a value in the cell, press ENTER to commit value (not validate), then press ESC to trigger validation
