Hello,
If I understand correctly you are entering the date values in an input field. So you are probably using RadDatePicker or RadDateInput control. Both of them allow you to manage the way dates are parsed when a short year value is entered as input.
You could use the ShortYearCenturyEnd property to set the largest value that would be parsed as year from the current century when short year value is entered. The property could be set in the markup or in the code-behind. By default the value for this property is 2029.
If you are using RadDatePicker the setting of the property in the markup could be done like shown below:
For RadDateInput the markup would be similar:
When using the settings shown you would get 1/1/2079 if you enter 1/1/79. However, when you enter 1/1/81 as an input you would get 1/1/1981 as a result.
Additionally you could set a range for the input of the controls with the MinDate and MaxDate properties. If the entered value is less than MinDate of greater than MaxDate the input control signals the user with error icon and does not accept the value. The default value for MinDate is 1/1/1980 and for MaxDate it is 12/31/2099.
I hope this information would help you achieve the result you are looking for.
Regards,
