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 : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...parsetopic.asp
I hope it helps...

The CompareValidator works for this. Set its Operator=DataTypeCheck and
Type=Date.

I tried but I'm in england with an english pc and when i try to use an
english date format (dd/mm/yyyy) the validation fails, the validation
succedes only with the american format (mm/dd/yyyy)
Any suggestions?
Thans, Diego.

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.ToDateTime(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".

This code works perfectly :
<%@ Page Language="C#" Culture="en-GB" %>
<%
DateTime r = new DateTime();
r = Convert.ToDateTime("25/01/2005");
Response.Write(r);
%>
Are you asking the wrong question?
