[Solved] Validate to prevent entering non existent date in Textbox inside Itemtemplate in a grid

[Joselina]

Hi ,

I have to prevent entering a non existent date like (11/31/2013..etc) and also needs to consider leap year . I tried with java script function but couldn't achieve it. Can you please help me to get the validation function for the text box txtLaunchDate in java script?

Below is my Radgrid code...

<AN:ANGrid ID="grdEmails" runat="server" Width="100%" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowGroupPanel="false" ClientSettings-AllowDragToGroup="false">

 <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID">

    <Columns>

     <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmailTypeName" HeaderText="Email Type" SortExpression="EmailTypeName" />

    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="RequestSubject" HeaderText="Subject" SortExpression="RequestSubject" />

        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="LaunchDate" HeaderText="Launch Date" SortExpression="Name">

        <ItemTemplate>

               <asp:TextBox ID="txtLaunchDate" runat="server" ToolTip="Enter email launch date in MM/DD/YYYY format here" CssClass="controls" Width="200" OnTextChanged="PreventNonexistentDate"></asp:TextBox>

   <AN:ANButton ID="btnStopDelinquentNotices" runat="server" Text="Stop Delinquent Notices" Visible="false" />

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="LaunchDays" HeaderText="Number of Days before Contract Expiration" SortExpression="Name" Display="false">

    <ItemTemplate>

    <AN:ANNumericTextBox ID="txtDays" runat="server" Type="Number" Value="0" ></AN:ANNumericTextBox>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

     </Columns>

   </MasterTableView>

   </AN:ANGrid>

Thanks

Hi Joselina,

You can add the CompareValidator to the TextBox you want to check the Date Format. Please try the following code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="LaunchDate" HeaderText="Launch Date" SortExpression="Name">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtLaunchDate" runat="server" ToolTip="Enter Launch Date in MM/DD/YYYY format here"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:CompareValidator ID="dateValidator" ControlToValidate="txtLaunchDate" Text="Incorrect Date"
            Operator="DataTypeCheck" Type="Date" runat="server" SetFocusOnError="true" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Princy
