    A date only texbox

    How do I make a textbox control to accept dates only and convert to a valid date format? I don't want to use the calander control.
    e.g.
    if I enter 2/17 or 2-17 or 02/17 or 2/17/2012; it will convert to
    2/17/2012

    thank you

    If you use the Short format for the DateTimePicker control it will only show the date, not the full calendar. Also set ShowUpDown = True to use up/down arrows instead of the calendar.

    I do not want to use date/time control at all. I want to have a text box and have flexibility to enter dates in many different ways.
    2/17 or 2-17 or 02/17 or 2/17/2012; it will convert to
    2/17/2012

    Here are some resources to work thru your problem. Consider creating a class which uses IExtenderProvider Interface (see link below)

    Standard Date and Time Format Strings
    Custom Date and Time Format Strings
