RadDateInput is a free-form date editing control. It assist date entry by accepting various date and time formats and tries to recognize them and convert them into valid dates. If the entry is successfully recognized, it will be formatted according to the current DateFormat and DisplayDateFormat property settings and displayed to the user. Erroneous output is signalled to the user by keeping the original text and applying a different, "error" CSS style.
