The asp:CompareValidator works perfectly... thanks!
(for those referencing this make sure that ControlToCompare is your
Password and ControlToValidate is the "Retype Password")
<asp:CompareValidator
ID="validPassword"
runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtRetype"
ControlToCompare="txtPassword"
ForeColor="red"
Font-Bold="True"
BackColor="yellow"
Type="String"
EnableClientScript="True"
ErrorMessage="Passwords do not match! Please retype." Font-
Size="Small" Height="34px"
style="text-
align: center" Width="220px"/>
