CustomValidator control to validate a date in format dd/mm/yyyy

[EmJayEm]

Does anyone have the vb.net code which uses a customvalidator control to
validate a date in the format dd/mm/yyyy

Thanks,

There are several solutions:

1. You don't need to use a CustomValidator. The CompareValidator does it.
Set its Operator to DataTypeCheck and Type=Date. Make sure the current
thread has a CultureInfo object that reflects your desired
ShortDatePattern. See my comments on this thread:
http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?tabindex=1&PostID=785630

I have tried implementing solution 1 and I get the following error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30691: 'CultureInfo' is a type in 'Globalization'
and cannot be used as an expression.

Source Error:


Line 38: end if
Line 39:
Line 40: System.Globalization.CultureInfo vCulture =
CType(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GG").Clone(),
System.Globalization.CultureInfo)
Line 41: vCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern =
"dd/MM/yyyy"
Line 42:
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = vCulture


I have added the namespace system.globalisation

Can you help?

I used your VB example and that is what returned the error message.
