In what format date is displayed in textbox? DateTime SelectedDate; string Format = dd/MM/yyyy; if (DateTime.TryParseExact(12/12/2012 Format System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None out SelectedDate)) { //date is valid get the date value from SelectedDate } else { //Not selected/not valid }
