I have an asp.net webpage, with a jQuery datepicker on it.

I am in the UK, so when I enter 28/02/2010, I expect it to resolve to 28th Feb 2010.

This is working as expected on my local dev env – but not on our QA or prod-like envs – or one of the other dev machines. In these cases it seems to attempt to resolve it to American date format – and fails validation as it is out of range.

The jQuery seems to generate the correct date each time – which leads me to think it may be a database issue.

I am using SQL Server 2005, my collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS, my colleagues are using collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, and a Chinese one.

Given that we don’t have control over the prod SQL Server installation (just our db), what is the best way to make this work in a standard way? Change the db settings, or the code that uses it?

Thanks in advance!

[EDIT to add code info]

This is my view code to call the datepicker:

 <%=Html.TextBox("DateOfBirth", Model.DateOfBirth.ToShortDateString(), new { @class = "datepicker" })%>

Here is the js for the datepicker:

DatePickerSettings = {
    setup: function () {
        $(".datepicker").datepicker({
            dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true
        });
    }
};

And this is how I specify the date in the model:

[Required]
[DisplayName("Date of Birth")]
public virtual DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }

The date appears correct inthe controller and repository… until it hits the db.

Thanks 🙂

    Is your page Culture aware?
    You can determine UI Cutlure information for different browsers(locales) and have your ASP.NET Culture constant.

    The Culture value determines the results of culture-dependent functions, such as the date, number, and currency formatting, and so on. The UICulture value determines which resources are loaded for the page

    Check out this MSDN link:
