When applied to collection properties, the RuleValueComparison can use aggregate functions. When a value is assigned to the TargetCollectionAggregate property, the validation rule checks the specified aggregate function.

RuleValueComparison is not checked if the collection property is empty. Use the RuleRequiredFieldAttribute instead.
