Question

is there a way to see if a date is valid without using validators?

I can’t use validators in this instance and it’s a long story that is too much to type but it has to do with nested controls not being able to be found in javascript. But before i insert a date i want to make sure it is valid right before the insert. any ideas?

I’m using a maskeditor and the date could look something like this "03/__/____" and this would cause an insert problem.

Are you looking for DateTime.TryParse?

DateTime dt;
bool isValid = DateTime.TryParse("03/__/____", out dt); // returns false
