[CLOSED] DateField not working when using custom format

[alexp]

When I use a DateField and specify a custom format for it, the SelectedDate property is always equal to MinDate

<ext:DateField runat="server" ID="dtStartDate" FieldLabel="#Start Date#" Format="d/m/Y" />

dtStartDate.SelectedDate == {1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM}

same thing happens to the Value property, so basically the associated DateTime object is messed up.

Hi,

You need use .NET format specifiers
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx


So, please use
Format="dd/MM/yyyy"*


Also can be useful use \/ instead / if you don't want to change date delimiter by current culture
Format="dd\/MM\/yyyy"

that did it, thanks.
I thought I should use javascript format
