Stop auto-correcting date

[Jack]

When a user enters a date of 1a/2/2​015, the raddatepicker auto​-corrects it to 1/2/2015. If a user enters a date of 13/01/2015 the raddatepicker auto-corrects it to 01/13/2015. I don't want the control to assume what the user meant to type. I would like to turn this feature off so that I can throw a validation error. Is this possible?

Hi Jack,

You can try setting the following property to achieve this requirement:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">
    <DateInput runat="server" EnableSmartParsing="false">
    </DateInput>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Hope this helps.

Hi Eyup,

Sorry it's been so long, I was on another project.

This did not solve my issue. Below is the source for one of the datepicker controls:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="rdpBegin" Runat="server" Culture="en-US" ResolvedRenderMode="Classic">
    <Calendar EnableWeekends="True" FastNavigationNextText="&lt;&lt;"
        UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False">
        <ClientEvents OnDateSelected="dateSelected" />
    </Calendar>
    <DateInput ID="DateInput1" runat="server" EnableSmartParsing="false">
        <ClientEvents OnError="HandleError" />
        <EmptyMessageStyle Resize="None" />
        <ReadOnlyStyle Resize="None" />
        <FocusedStyle Resize="None" />
        <DisabledStyle Resize="None" />
        <InvalidStyle Resize="None" />
        <HoveredStyle Resize="None" />
        <EnabledStyle Resize="None" />
    </DateInput>
    <DatePopupButton HoverImageUrl="" ImageUrl="" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Hello Jack,

I have tested the provided code in a sample application on my end and it works correctly without modifying the entered date as per your requirements. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the controls where the mentioned property is implemented.

Hi.

i've got the same problem. I tried the EnableSmartParsing="false" option but after setting the smart parsing to false i can't input any date, even valid ones. I added my html code below how i configured the datepicker.

 

Best regards

            <DateInput runat="server" DateFormat="dd.MM.yyyy" DisplayDateFormat="dd.MM.yyyy" EnableSmartParsing="false"></DateInput>
            <DatePopupButton ImageUrl="/web/images/icons/datepicker_normal.png" HoverImageUrl="/web/images/icons/datepicker_hover.png"/>

Hello,

I tried to replicate the issue you described on my end but to no avail, Re "EnableSmartParsing" property is working properly in my test application. See the test pages attached and verify what the difference in your case is.

Hello,

today I installed the latest version (Q1 2016) but I still got the same issue. Every date I enter or select is marked as invalid.
