Date Validation

Can I validate (possibly with a compare validator) a Date entered by the
user based upon his regional settings?
I.e. if a user is american the format would be mm/dd/yyyy, if brittish
dd/mm/yyyy
Thanks, Diego.

Hi Diego
DateTime.Parse is what you need :

I hope it helps...

The CompareValidato r works for this. Set its Operator=DataTy peCheck and
Type=Date.

Sorry I've replyed too quickly, Is it possible to do a validation depending
on the user culture? i.e. if an american logs in I accept 12/31/2005 and if
an English does I accept 31/12/2005?
Thanks, Diego.

I did some tests and the validation on the client reflects the culture that
was specified on the server.

A quick test is to add this to the page directive
<%@ Page Culture="en-US" %>
or
<%@ Page Culture="nl-BE" %>

The culture is now specified static and if you want to set it depending on
the browser user's culture you have to use these techniques :
for asp.net 1 http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/334.aspx
for asp.net 2 its easier http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/anor.../13/54271.aspx
Let me know if you have any more questions..

Another question, once I've declared the culture in the page I try to do
something like this

obect.date = Convert.ToDateT ime(grid["date"]) and I have an error (cannot
convert string to date), how can I convert the date according to the user
format?
Thanks, Diego.

What is the string that you try to convert there?

Don't forget about DateTime.Parse( ) too.

Thanks, Diego.

Hi Diego,

Please read the article I provided (http://aspalliance.com/699) because it
tells you exactly how to setup the culture for validators. See the heading
"Validators support for globalization".

It has appeared that ancient sources give a method for Numeric Date Validation that involves numerous tests to determine month length; versions are often posted by incomers here.
