Using a Cell Comparison Validator
In This Topic
You can create a validator that compares the cell value to another cell's value. You can compare DateTime, TimeSpan, or Decimal type (Numeric) values.
A validation error occurs if the value is not valid. You can also create an action, such as adding an underline to the cell, that lets the user know the value is invalid.
Use the CompareCellValidator class to create the validation conditions. Specify a notification type such as LineNotify. Then use the AddValidators method to add the validator to a cell range.
The following image displays a red underline for an invalid value.
Using Code
The following example adds a red underline if you type a value less than or equal to 10 in cell 1,1.
