Hi,
The DatePicker SelectedDate property is returning 2 digit year on a particular deployment. All other installation of the same page returns 4 digit year. It seems something enviromental causing this 2 digit year behavior. Any ideas on what could cause this?
Thanks,
Dev.

I notice that you're using the ToString() method, which uses the current culture used on the computer running the page. If you want to maintain a consistent date rendering, you should use the ToString(format) method instead and format the date yourself.
That's the only way I can think of, that will force the correct date format on all machines.
I hope that helps.

You are right. Specifying a date format to the ToString() method does force this particular site to return the 4 digit year. I was trying to see if I could fix this problem without making code changes but it looks like I might have to. Thanks for your help.
