I wish to validate the date a user has entered against the format dd
mmm yyyy

Using the CompareValidator and DataTypeCheck does not work and I
suspect that a Regular Expression is over-engineering. Does anybody
have a simple solution please?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Andy,

when you are using the compare validator to compare to dates it uses the
default culture info of your machine. so the simplest solution is to set the
following line in your web.config with culture which has the dateformat " dd
mmm yyyy".

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8"
culture="en-GB" />
