Format Date

[obrienkev]

Hi,

How do I ensure that the correct date format is entered into a textBox?
Want to set Tag to false if incorrect format entered.

This format: dd/mm/yyyy

private void textBox_TextChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
            TextBox tb = (TextBox)sender;
 
            if (tb.Text.Length == 0)
            {
                tb.Tag = false;
                errorProvider1.SetError(tb, "Enter Data");
            }
            else
            {
                tb.Tag = true;
                errorProvider1.SetError(tb, "");
            }
}
