How do you validate a date in C#? <br />
<br />
Is there something along the lines of:<br />
txtDateBox is a textbox that user enters a date into...<br />
<br />
if( Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate<wbr />Box.Text).<wbr />IsValidDat<wbr />e == true ) &nbsp; //would return bool true or false...<br />
{<br />
then date is valid<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
then date is NOT valid<br />
}<br />
<br />
I absolutely don't want to use validator controls! They wreak havok on my pages - I'd rather not use them. And they freeze the entire page if you don't enter in a correct date! I need a backend way to validate whether it is a valid date or not. There has to be a way - can anybody help?<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

datetime validation

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
