How to solve DateTime Fomat problem

Question

Our Old website was in VS 2008 .It works fine for framework 3.5 for datetime.
Now we converted our site to VS 2010.From this onward we got datetime problem for calender extender with dd/MM/yyyy format using compare validator. We set code in Global.asax as

C#

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
      //var customCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
       HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("x-frame-options", "DENY");

       // Code that runs on application startup
       CultureInfo newCulture = (CultureInfo)System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone();
       newCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
       newCulture.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator = "/";
       Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = newCulture;
       //System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = customCulture;
   }

This works Fine for VS 2008 but after converting to VS 2010 Compare Validator gives error for calendor extendor which is having 'dd/MM/yyyy' format.
For this we tried
1. We tried To add
<globalization culture="”en-GB”/"> in Web.Config in System.web But it doesn't work.
2. Then We tried to add

C#

var customCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = customCulture;

in Global.asax
But this also didn't work.

1. Whether this belongs to local Server.
2. We don't want to change calender extender format as 'MM/dd/yyyy' as this change has to be in all project.
3. How to fix problem in Global.asax or web.config.Please help us urgently as we trying for 4 Days .Thanks in advance.....

Please do not go round editing old questions; it just moves them to the top of the queue and adds clutter to the forums. As I said earlier, please use your new found privilege with care, and common sense.

get your system date format and convert realted to it :

C#

char sysseparator = Convert.ToChar(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator);
string date=CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern.ToString();
                 string date1 = '12-12-2013';//your date here
                 date1 = date1.Replace(&#39;-&#39;, sysseparator);
                 string[] splt = date1.ToLower().Trim().Split(sysseparator);
                 date = RemoveDuplicateChars(date.ToLower(), sysseparator.ToString());
             date = date.Replace("d", splt[2].PadLeft(2, '0'));
    date = date.Replace("m", splt[1].PadLeft(2, '0'));
                        date = date.Replace("y", splt[0]);
