Validation controls in asp.net

There are main 6 types of validation control; it used to validate the data inserted into input controls, it validates in client side itself and find and validate it. The validation is based on scenario;

Its contains:

1.       Required Field Validation in ASP.Net – It Checks, does the control have any value. It’s used when you want the control should not be empty. It ensures that the user does not skip a mandatory entry field.

Text="The date must be between 2013-01-01 and 2013-12-31!" runat="server" />

3.       Compare Validation in ASP.Net :  Check the value in the control should match the value in other control. It compares one controls value with other control value, constants and data type using a comparison operator (equals, greater than, less than, and so on). [e.g. comparing the password value of two textbox)
