Hi,

As i have mentioned that is you are using textmode=date then you have to use YYYY-MM-DD format only.You can format the user input date to dd-mm-yyyy before storing it to DB.

Alternativley you can use Datetimepicker.Just remove the time part and you are good to go

try this on server side

DateTime theDate=DateTime.ParseExact(TextBox1.Text, "yyyy-MM-dd", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string dateToInsert=theDate.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy");

or you can use date picker also

Hi Ankit, thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I'm not fetching data from the database. What I am asking is during input. Our location is in Laos and the users are not comfortable with the default format of MM/dd/yyyy. They are asking for the format dd/MM/yyyy during input of the date. I would appreciate so much if you could point me to the right forum. Thanks again.

Hi,

the new textbox in .Net with textmode=date only supports the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Refer this

But you can handle this on server side. Refer this

Hope this helps
