Accept dd/mm/yyyy date format in ASP.NET AJAX MaskedEditExtender

Tweet

A simple way to use the dd/mm/yyyy date format in the ASP.NET AJAX MaskedEditExtender is to use a culturename in the extender that supports this format. Shown below is an example which accepts the date in dd/mm/yyyy format and also use a MaskedEditValidator for a date field. The CultureName used here is of Great Britain "en-GB"

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

</asp:ScriptManager>

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDate" runat="server" ValidationGroup="DtVal"/>      

<cc1:MaskedEditExtender ID="MaskedEditExtender1" runat="server"

    CultureName="en-GB" TargetControlID="txtDate"

    Mask="99/99/9999" MaskType="Date" AcceptNegative="None"/> 

<cc1:MaskedEditValidator id="MaskedEditValidator1" runat="server"

    ControlExtender="MaskedEditExtender1"

    EmptyValueMessage="Please enter Date" InvalidValueMessage="Invalid Date"

    ControlToValidate="txtDate" ValidationGroup="DtVal" />
