Date validation using RangeValidator 1

[shangrilla]

Hi:

I am trying to check that the date entered in a texbox is less than current date. I ensure that the date entered is valid using a compareValidator's dataTypeCheck property.

RangeValidator properties that I have set:

ControlToValidate = txtCheck
DataType = Date

In Page_load
rangeValidator1.MaxValue = Now.Date
rangeValidator1.MinValue = DateTime.MinValue.Date

I get an error saying MinValue 12:00:00 AM is not of type Date?????

Thanks

What is the minimum value that you want in the date field.

What your doing is trying to put a Time into the Date only type. DateTime.MinValue represents the smallest value that DateTime accepts. You need to set the rangeValidator.MinValue to a actuall date. Just put something like this there.

Now.AddYears(-10) to set the minimum accepted date to 10 years ago. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Hi:

Why do I have type the code for Maximum and Minimum value under Page_load()

Why can't I just type it in the properties window. When I do, I get an error saying MaximumValue Now.Date cannot be converted into type Date.
