try this on server side DateTime theDate=DateTime.ParseExact(TextBox1.Text yyyy-MM-dd System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); string dateToInsert=theDate.ToString(dd-MM-yyyy); or you can use date picker also $(function() { $( #datepicker ).datepicker({dateFormat: dd-mm-yyyy}); }); https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Hi As i have mentioned that is you are using textmode=date then you have to use YYYY-MM-DD format only.You can format the user input date to dd-mm-yyyy before storing it to DB. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21952542/how-to-set-value-from-server-side-code-to-an-asp-net-textbox-with-textmode-date Alternativley you can use Datetimepicker.Just remove the time part and you are good to go https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/DateTimePicker-control-for-ASPNet-TextBox-Example.aspx

Hi Ankit thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I'm not fetching data from the database. What I am asking is during input. Our location is in Laos and the users are not comfortable with the default format of MM/dd/yyyy. They are asking for the format dd/MM/yyyy during input of the date. I would appreciate so much if you could point me to the right forum. Thanks again.

Hi the new textbox in .Net with textmode=date only supports the YYYY-MM-DD format. Refer this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22745661/how-to-set-the-value-of-a-textbox-textmode-date-asp-net-c-sharp But you can handle this on server side.
