Hi,
For example, what I did was set:
<asp:comparevalidator id="cvEndDate" style="Z-INDEX: 229; LEFT: 592px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 1896px"
runat="server" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="X-Small"
ControlToValidate="txtEndDate"
ErrorMessage="End Date must be after start date" Type="Date" Operator="GreaterThan"
ControlToCompare="txtStartDate">
End Date must be after start date
</asp:comparevalidator>
in Page_Load:
StartDateCalendar.SelectedDate = StartDateCalendar.TodaysDate;
EndDateCalendar.SelectedDate = StartDateCalendar.SelectedDate.AddYears(1).AddDays (-1); //my default end
date was one year and a day less than my start date
txtCurrDate.Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
txtStartDate.Text = StartDateCalendar.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString() ;
txtEndDate.Text = EndDateCalendar.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
and everytime, the calendar control (or whatever you have that causes the date to change) has a
selectedIndexChanged event, you'll have to update the text boxes with the up-to-date value.
Hope that helps,

I use the following code:
public bool Validate(string source)
{
DateTimeFormatInfo fi = new DateTimeFormatInfo();
fi = DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo;
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(source,fi);
return true;
}
However, this depends on the Regional Settings specified in your Control
Panel.

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DateTime' to 'string'
Is there anyway of setting the Value to compare property in the
Javascript??
If not do you know how I get rid of this build error
