Range Validator help for date validation

[777axa]

Is there a way to set the min and max values in the Range Validator Control's properties using some of the built-in date functions.
I want min to be the today's date minus 50 years and max + 5 years.
I've tried typing <%=DateTime.Today%> into the properties but it gives an error.
Do i need to do some namespace import?

Also, is there something built in for checking non-leap year date errors like Feb 29?
Thank you.

You need to set the range validator's properties up in the page_load function if you want to do this

RangeValidator1.MinimumValue = Today.AddYears(-50).Date.ToString
RangeValidator1.MaximumValue = Today.AddYears(5).Date.ToString

Just make sure to set the type that your validating to a date.

As for the leap years the only way i know of to make sure of this is to use the calendar control and have the user select the dates from that. That'l do donkey, that'l do
