Date or and time

Even though the users input the date from a datepicker dd it always resets to 01/01/0001

Any idea on how to ficx this??
Thanx

 

Guess: set the default value to something like Date.Now() or Date.Today()

 

Thanx for replying,

I am using the .UtcNow but it is not working either, I even recreated the whole db and tables, the error of datetime2 and datetime is actually a deployment server issue, I am guessing, because if I entered the value in the date textbox to US format it will accept it MM/DD/YYYY but not the European or other format like dd/mm/yyyy

Which is wiered, I have spent many an hour trying to solve this problem and contacted support, no help there, thought they might have an idea on how to fix this, no luck.

I have even changed the localization in my Java script, NO LUCK.

It works only when I manually enter the month first format.

But I do need the app to accept the Euro format.

ANy idea?

 

Well I had to subdue to the server's rule and I had to let the users choose the US date format. I am out of ideas.

 

Yes I am using VS2010 to develope my site, I am using the Danish/Norwegian char sets for both site and database, and the database on ASPdiscount server, yet I still face the problems with datetime no matter which format of it do I use. Ieven recreated a whole new db with the only Date defs in the tables yet the db on your server still automatically converts or rather resets the date 01/01/0001.

I will however look at the link you provided and report back my findings.

Thanks for your attention.

 

Well I finally got it to display an acceptable time, but I am still battling with the US format

here is a clip from my Razor code and Jscript.
@Html.TextBox( "" , String.Format( "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}" , Model.Value ) , new { @class = "textbox" , @style = "width:200px;" } )
}
else {
@Html.TextBox("", String.Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", DateTime.Now), new { @class = "textbox", @style = "width:200px;" })
}

@{
string name = ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix;
string id = name.Replace( ".", "_" );
}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#@id").datepicker
({
dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
showStatus: true,
showWeeks: true,
highlightWeek: true,
numberOfMonths: 1,
showAnim: "scale",
bla bla bla...

and a Jscript class easy and simple function for the datepicker too


$(document).ready(function ()
{$('.date').datepicker({dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"});});

So this code works for the US format. I have tried changing the format to Euro but that did not work, it would still display the US format.

G.D.I. I am now having a problem with the Danish alphabets and apostrophies and quotes not showing right... I think I am gonna quit.

 

God damn it...!!! it is still resetting the Euro date format in the datepicker. I am just gonna use the yyyy-MM-dd format for all.
