ASP MVC 5 Client Validation for Range of Datetimes

Question

I want to check an Datetime field in a form. The field is valid between 01/10/2008 and 01/12/2008. Here is how I defined the viewmodel property:

    [Require         


        

Answer 1

Though portions of this have been posted before and downvoted as not working. I can confirm this does work as long as you have both the range and the format string specified.

[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:mm-dd-yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
[Range(typeof(DateTime), "1/1/1900", "12/31/2018",
    ErrorMessage = "Value for {0} must be between {1} and {2}")]
[Display(Name = "Date of Birth")]
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
