Datepicker format input and output

[Cape]

We using the datepicker with input format "dd-mm-yyyy" in our asp.net web application. Created an validator function for this format. Works fine when leaving the input field it checks the format "dd-mm-yyyy" but when we want to save the record our validator function gets the date as "yyyy-mm-dd" which is invalid according to our validator function. What to do.

Hi Cape,

Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end. Please provide your code if it doesn't help.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server" DateInput-DateInput-DisplayDateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy" DateInput-DateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>
<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="RadButton1_Click">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //date is getting in the format dd-MM-yyyy
    DateTime date = Convert.ToDateTime(RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate);
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

My problem is that i have a customvalidor that gets the value of my date field.

In my validator i use getElemetById("id").value to get the value of my datepicker.  The value is in format "yyyy-mm-dd" when pressing ok on my form. When i use the datepicker and select a date the value of my datefield is still in the format of "yyyy-mm-dd" in the validator but pressing  ok the value in my customvalidator is "dd-mm-yyyy" and my validator fails.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="raddateDateFormat" runat="server" DateInput-DateInput-DisplayDateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy" DateInput-DateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>
<asp:CustomValidator ID="cvDateFormat" runat="server" ValidationGroup="Group1" ClientValidationFunction="Validate" EnableClientScript="true" ValidateEmptyText="true">
</asp:CustomValidator>
<telerik:RadButton ID="radbtnValidateDate" runat="server" Text="ok" ValidationGroup="Group1"
    AutoPostBack="false">
</telerik:RadButton>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function Validate() {
        var datepicker = $find("<%=RadDatePicker1.ClientID %>");
        alert(datepicker.get_dateInput().get_value());
        //your code for validation
    }
</script>
