Hi,

I want to display a custom message when the user enters a wrong date in the RADDatePicker control.

The code is given below..

                                        <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">         
                                </telerik:RadDatePicker>         
                                <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"          
                                    ControlToValidate="RadDatePicker1" runat="server"          
                                    ErrorMessage="Please enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format"          
                                    ValidationExpression="([1-9]|0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[/]([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[012])[/](19|20)\d\d"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>         
                                <br />         
                                 
                                 

This validation(dd/mm/yyyy) doesnot work with RADDatePicker.

Although, when I use the same regular expression to validate date in an asp:textbox control, it works.

Please explain...

thanks and regards,

Sid

Hello Sid,

If you need to allow only particular date formats to be added in the DatePicker control you could use the RadDatePicker.DateFormat property and still use the activated inbuilt validation. Please review the following help topic for more information on this property.

Additionally, review the following live demo about RadDatePicker validation:
Calendar / Validation

Either you can use the client side onError event.
