Convert String to Date and check Date Validation on Server side in C#.Net.

There are lots of functions available in client side for date validation.

Sometime server side date validation function require

It’s very simple but require much time to right. (C#.Net)

SupportedDateFormats : It is a customise function where you can refer the date format whatever you want.

ConvertStringToDate : This will return True or Flase based on date format supported. And give converted Date from String.

public static bool ConvertStringToDate(string dateString, ref DateTime resultDate)

{

try

{

resultDate = DateTime.ParseExact(

dateString,

SupportedDateFormats(),

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,

System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None

);

return true;

}

catch

{

return false;

}

}

//This is custom defined format function you can add more date format as per your requirement

like "dd/MM/YYYY", etc in the allFormats array

private static string[] SupportedDateFormats()

{

string[] allFormats = new string[] {

"MM/dd/yyyy",

"MM/dd/yy",

"M/d/yy",

"MM/d/yy",

"M/dd/yy",

"M/d/yyyy",

"MM/d/yyyy",

"M/dd/yyyy"};

return allFormats;

}

// Now you can use this function in your code like this

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DateTime dtTemp;

dtTemp =DateTime.Today.Date;

lblIsvalidDate.Text =

ConvertStringToDate(

textBox2.Text,

ref dtTemp

).ToString();

lblCovertedDate = dtTemp.ToString();

}
