Question

Basically, this is my code to enter the date of birth.

<asp:TextBox Width="208px" ID="txtDOB" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="reqDOB" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtDOB" ErrorMessage="Cannot be blank" Display="Dynamic"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:CompareValidator ErrorMessage="(MM/DD/YYYY)" Display="Dynamic" ID="valcDate" ControlToValidate="txtDOB" Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Date" runat="server"> </asp:CompareValidator>
<asp:RangeValidator ID="valrDate" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtDOB" MinimumValue="01/01/1800" MaximumValue="01/01/2100" Type="Date" text="Invalid Date" Display="Dynamic"/> </asp:RangeValidator>

So now I want to override the basic format from mm-dd-yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy. Is there any basic way?

Answer 1

In c# you can customise the format like this :-

DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")));
