Restrict Auto correction of Raddatepicker

[Ramesh]

Hi Team,

How can we restrict the auto correction of Raddatepicker input.?

Say example, if I enter 25/10/2020 in raddatepicker (if format  is MM/DD/YYYY) it is automatically changes to 10/25/2020 when I click outside!.

I don't want to rearrange the date. Instead it should warn depends on the date format.

Also if we enter date as "00" and month as "00" , it shows an invalid date!. Instead can we make it as a warning as we enter invalid date in RaddatePicker ?

Please suggest your thoughts or comments.

 

Note : we are using a bit old dll version shown below

RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2013

Regards,

Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,

You can disable the AutoCorrect of the DateInput by setting EnableSmartParsing="false". When it is set to "false" (default value is "true") the automatic parsing/correction of the date/time entered is disabled.

Please note that this property is available since Q2 2015 SP1 release and you will need to upgrade to use it:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/dateinput/features/parsing-dates#date-grouping-and-structure

The upgrade to a newer version after R1 2020 or a later one is also a must because of the CVE-2019-18935 vulnerability in the earlier versions including Q1 2013. You can find more information about the vulnerability at Allows JavaScriptSerializer Deserialization and Blue Mockingbird Vulnerability Picks up Steam—Telerik Guidance.
