      this.myForm.setValidators(this.comparisonValidator())
}

 public comparisonValidator() : ValidatorFn{
       return (group: FormGroup): ValidationErrors => {
          const control1 = group.controls['myControl1'];
          const control2 = group.controls['myControl2'];
          if (control1.value !== control2.value) {
             control2.setErrors({notEquivalent: true});
          } else {
