Hi all,
I created simple date control using 3 drop downs
what happen is if the culture was Hijri what i do is convert to Georgian date and then store it. Bus i noticed that when ever the user select a date over 12/29/1450 it crash down (wrong date format).

This is the method i am using
return DateTime.Parse(str, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ar-sa").DateTimeFormat);
and I noticed that when you change your local regional culture to Arabic(Saudi Arabia), the last year is 1450.

Can anyone help with this?

I haven't tried it myself, but there is an article giving a culture aware calender and DateTimePicker, which you may be able to use instead of the three dropdowns etc.:
