值xxx对yyy无效。 错误的日期时间格式

Question

Hello I'm getting my dateTime from a input box with datepicker initialized with this code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#CreationDate").datepicker({ autoclose: true, todayHighlight: true, language: "pl", format: 'dd/mm/yyyy' });
})

As You can see format is dd/mm/yyyy This is my model:

public int Id { get; set; }
public int DeviceId { get; set; }
public string SerialNo { get; set; }
public System.DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }

And when I try to input my model into database controller refuses because Model.isValid=false

If I change format to mm/dd/yyyy model is valid but this is no option because users don't want to enter data in Us format. I put in web.config globalization line:

<globalization culture="en-GB"/>

with no effect how should I modify my code? or the only simpleen call controler action?

Problem : Your custom dateformat dd/mm/yyyy is invalid.

small mm is used to represent Minutes not Month .

Solution : You should use capital MM to represent Month . so your Format should be dd/MM/yyyy

mm The minute, from 00 through 59 .
MM The month, from 01 through 12 .

Try This:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#CreationDate").datepicker({ autoclose: true, 
    todayHighlight: true, language: "pl", format: 'dd/MM/yyyy' });
})

Your datepicker format should be dd/mm/yy instead of dd/mm/yyyy . In my case the following code works greate:

$(function () {
    $(".datePicker").datepicker({
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
        yearRange: "2013:2014"
    });
});

Please note another thing, you may change CreationDate field from System.DateTime to String.

Then, use the following code

 DateTime CreationDate ; 
 DateTime.TryParseExact(yourModel.CreationDate, "dd/MM/yyyy", null, System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out CreationDate );

Hope, this will help.
