RadDateInput validation

[Bob]

I am using the RadDateInput control.  If I key in a date such as, 2/33/2008, the date is highlighted in red.  How can I also display an error message?  I would like to use something like the ValidationSummary and RequiredFieldControl controls in ASP.Net.  Is there something similar in telerik or should I just go on and use the ASP.Net validation controls?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

You can hook the OnError client event, check if this is a parsing error and perform some custom actions there. Find a demo demonstrating that below:

http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/prometheus-futures/Input/Examples/RadDateInput/HandleErrorEvent/DefaultCS.aspx

You can also assign client validation controls to the RadInput components as shown here:

Hi Jan,

You can find an online demo illustrating the client-side events of RadDateInput below.

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/dateinput/programming/client-side/events/defaultcs.aspx

Additional information regarding the OnError event is available in this article.

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/dateinput/client-side-programming/events/onerror

If you would like additional information on the default validation used by the DateInput you would find the following article interesting.
