your question is not clear to me, whether you want to compare the text of textboxes or the data of database.
however you can use compare function of string, what you have to do is you should store that values to string format if you are fetching them from database
compare function works as follows:
if according to dictionary first string comes earlier then value >0(+ve) will be returned
if equal then zero
otherwise < 0 (-ve)

thanks
