DateTime (date and hour) validation with Data Annotation

Question

I have the following code:

        [DisplayName(\"58.Date and hour of birth\")]
        [DataType(DataType.DateTime, ErrorMessage = \"Please enter a valid da         


        

Answer 1

If you just pass date in a string it will consider it as 12:00 AM. If you want to pass time within a string use "06/06/2011 7:00 PM" syntax.

Other workaround would be to keep your string as is, convert it to DateTime & then AddHours &/or AddMinutes to DateTime object depending on your needs.
