Everything I've seen concerning this suggests that this code should validate correctly when your focus leaves RadDateInput2. Instead, valid dates which are later than the initial date produce errors - in fact, any valid date entered in the second box produces a validation error. What am I doing wrong?

      <div> 
         <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server" /> 
         Date 1: 
         <telerik:RadDateInput ID="RadDateInput1" runat="server" SelectedDate="09/19/2008" /> 
         <br /> 
         <br /> 
         Date 2: 
         <telerik:RadDateInput ID="RadDateInput2" runat="server" /> 
         <br /> 
         <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Date 2 must be greater than or equal to date 1." 
            ControlToCompare="RadDateInput1" ControlToValidate="RadDateInput2" Type="Date" 
            Operator="GreaterThanEqual" /> 
      </div> 
   </form> 
</body>

When I change the control from a DatePicker to a DateInput, the CompareValidator again fails to work. We are using DateInputs in our solution currently - is this the only solution, to switch to DatePickers?

Hello Ashley,

Please try to modify your CompareValidator as follows:
<asp:CompareValidator  
  ID="dateCompareValidator"  
  runat="server"  
  ControlToValidate="RadDateInput2" 
  ControlToCompare="RadDateInput1"  
  Operator="GreaterThan"  
  ErrorMessage="The second date must be after the first one."
</asp:CompareValidator> 

I hope this helps.

Bingo - apparently the type attribute covered something else entirely - DataTypeCheck value, I suppose. Thank you!
