u need to use regex validator as well to validate the input string as date then the compare and range validation would work according to your plans.

When you enter a datetime inside textbox. Your validator start to convert this text to date time and then that datetime will be compared for your min and max value.
When you enter Wrong datetime. Validator starts to convert that into date. before comparing.
So when you enter 13/20/11 or 20/20/24 which is wrong date time. you got the error before comparison.
