Go for ajax calender extender

http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/Calendar/Calendar.aspx

With this you can format the date you are entering, Direct selection of date.No need to worry that users will input an invalid format.

Enjoy Coding :)

<asp:Textbox runat="server" ID="TextBox1" />
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ErrorMessage="Date was in incorrect format" OnServerValidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate" />


protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object sender, ServerValidateEventArgs e)
{
DateTime d;
e.IsValid = DateTime.TryParseExact(e.Value, "DD-MM-YYYY ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out d);

using javascript :

<script type="text/javascript">

    function test() {

        var a = new Date();

        // a = "11022012";

        a = document.getElementById("txt1").value;

        var count = a.match(/-/g);



        if (count == null) {

            if (a.length == 8) {

                var date = a.substr(0, 2);

                var month = a.substr(2, 2);

                var year = a.substr(4, 4);



                if (date > 31 || month > 12) {

                    alert("enter valid date/month");

                }

                else {

                    document.getElementById("txt1").value = date + "-" + month + "-" + year;

                }



            }

            else {

                alert("please enter valid date");

            }

        }

    }

</script>

<input type="text" id="txt1" onblur="test()" />
