RangeValidator control check whether input control value is within a specified range of values. using Type property we can tell rangevalidator of validating values data type as like integer, date, double, currency or string. rangevalidator converted input values specific data type before apply any comparison. by ErrorMessage property we can set rangevalidator validation fail error message text. rangevalidator control have two property MaximumValue and MinimumValue to specify validation range. rangevalidator ControlToValidate property value set the input control to validate. MinimumValue and MaximumValue specify the valid range of control inputted value. validation ignore if you not set a requiredfieldvalidator and user leave input field without entering any value.
