I have a requirement to validate some of the RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker fields on our form.
If invalid characters are typed into these fields, although a yellow triangle is displayed on the control, the user can still submit the form.
The examples I've seen to remedy this involved using a RequiredFieldValidator.
However, in our case, not all date or time fields will have to be completed - some may be left blank.
Is there a solution for this, preferably using both client side and server side validation?

Hello Matt,
In your case, I believe using "CustomValidator" would be better option. In the "ClientValidationFunction" handler, check for whether any of the DatePicekr has valid dates (based on your requirement) and set page as valid/invalid.
The following documentations will help you on client side methods of RadDatePicker.
