Date format


Date format rkbnair

dotnet general:
In the below listed code, I can force the users to enter date in mm/dd/yy
format.
I tried the dataformat method. But it does no validation at all.


<asp:templatefield
HeaderText="Ist Installed On" >

<edititemtemplate>
<asp:TextBox

ID="gTextBox_dte_install1st" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("dte_install1st")%>'
OnChange="NumericValidation(this.id)">

</asp:TextBox>

If so, how will the expression code look like?

Another bad internationalization practice :-)
What's wrong with a date picker?

Hello rkbnair,

You could use a RegularExpressionValidator, or get yourself a license for
Peter's Date Package (http://www.peterblum.com).

Hello rkbnair,

[quoted text, click to view]

Without actually checking the date itself:

^\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{2}$

There are more complex expressions going around that actually check the entered
text for correctness (even check for leap years), but it would be better
to use a custom validator and parse the contents both clientside and server
side for that.
