I just tried this simple code

string date = "28/02/2013";
DateTime time = Convert.ToDateTime(date);
MessageBox.Show ( String.Format("{0:dd MM yyyy}", Convert.ToDateTime(date)));

you can compare the date string with appopriate format sytle with String.Format() maybe it helps

Best practice to check in client side for validation.

You may use this code

XML

<asp:TextBox ID="tbxEventDate" Enabled="true" runat="server" CssClass="datepicker input-xlarge"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="tbxEventDate" ID="rfvDate"
            ValidationGroup="validate" CssClass="text-error" Text="required" SetFocusOnError="true"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
