WebForms DateInput Overview

RadDateInput is an input control that formats and validates DateTime values, and and has 'smart' parsing engine which recognizes whether the user entry can be converted to DateTime format or not. It shares the common properties of all RadInput controls, including support for skins, styles for different states, empty message support, conditional postback on date change, labels, and so on. RadDateInput assists the user in date and time entry by accepting various date and time formats and tries to recognize them and convert them into valid dates.
