How do you make a compare validator case insensitive?

Tia,

I don't think this functionality is supported by default. The only
supported comparisons are those given by the ValidationCompareOperator
enumeration. One of these is Equal, which for strings should only work if
they really are equal, as opposed to if the lowercase of both sides are
equal.

You can either use a CustomValidator or perhaps subclass the
CompareValidator and override its Compare() method.

Because I wanted it to work client side, this is the another reason for
me to lean back to a reg ex validator.

All I need to check is if the exact name admin is entered.
I don't care if it's administrator, admins, adin only "admin"
And it case insensitive.

Can you think of a reg ex that'll do that?

You want it to be valid or not valid in that case?

If only 'admin' is valid, then it's easy: ^admin$

Of course, as Scott Mitchell mentioned, you might be best off just going
with string comparison. There's no reason you can't do a custom validator
that also includes some client-side script. That's the purpose of the
ClientValidationFunction property of the Custom Validator. You could just
add your function, IsAdmin(), to the WebUIValidation.js file, or do a
register client script block, or even stick it in a literal. Your
javascript should be really simple, too. Just do a .toLower() on the
textbox's contents and compare it with 'admin' and return the result.
