Range validator for date

[tshad]

I have been trying to set up a range validator and regular expression for my
dates.

I tried this:

<asp:RangeValidator runat="server"
ControlToValidate="AbsentFrom1"
MinimumValue="12/31/1950"
MaximumValue="1/1/2100"
Type="Date" text="Invalid Date"/>

Which doesn't seem to work at all.

I put in 1/15/1940 and it didn't give me an error.

I need this because my regular expression won't handle leap years and I
don't want to have to deal with different type of years over and about 2 or
4 characters. My RegularExpressionValidator (which does work) is:

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ControlToValidate="AbsentFrom1"
ValidationExpression="^(([1-9])|(0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))\/(([1-9])|(0[1-9])|(1[0-9
])|(2[0-9])|(3[0-1]))\/((\d{2})|(\d{4}))$" Display="Dynamic" Text="<br>From
Date Invalid or in wrong Format(MM/DD/YY)" runat="server"/>

Why doesn't the range validator work?

Is there a better way to validate my dates?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi

Use CompareValidator for that date type and RangeValidator for the
range like so:

<asp:CompareValidator id="CompareValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="CompareValidator" Type="Date"
ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
Operator="DataTypeCheck"></asp:CompareValidator>
<asp:RangeValidator id="RangeValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="RangeValidator" MaximumValue="2010-01-01"
MinimumValue="2009-01-01"
ControlToValidate="TextBox1">RangeValidator</asp:RangeValidator>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server">2010-01-01</asp:TextBox>
