Hi all, I'm having problems validating my date, I got a text box (tbDate) with a jquery calendar drop, but I'm still been told that I must validate that date, I've got the following method but it doesn't seem to be working for me, if there is any other way please advise and help, thanks alot.

C#

DateTime validate;
        if (DateTime.TryParse(tbDOB.Text, out validate))
        {
            update.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dob", tbDOB.Text);

        }
        else
        {
            Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Window", "alert('Enter Valid Date');", true);

        }

U Can validate your date Using Javascript with rejex expression

http://www.roseindia.net/answers/viewqa/JavaScriptQuestions/25909-javascript-date-validation-using-regex.html[^]

or if u want to validate in server side just use try.. catch.

VB

Try

{
   Datetime myDate = Datetime.Parse(someTextBox.Text)
}

Catch (Exception ex)
{

   'Not a valid Date

'your Msg Goes Hear....
   'Do Something

}
