Date Validation

[Kerri]

Hi,

I have an input box on an aspx page.

This allows a user to input a datre.

Does anyone know if there is a validation control I can
use to validate that (i) the valueinput is a date and (ii)
that it is in a certain format

I know I can achieve this using javascript but I want to
do this server side.

Thanks,
Kerri.

You may use ParseExact function within try..catch block.
ParseExact thows exception if input string doesn't suite for format
If you got exception: the date invalid
