I am getting an model generated error message while choosing date in this format 27/06/2014 (any date more then 12/mm/yy).

Error Message is: The value '27/06/2014' is not valid for Date in MVC 4

Previously my Model and View was like this:

View Code Portion:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.DateOfBirth, new { style = "width:310px;height:25px" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DateOfBirth)

Model Code Portion:

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Date of birth field is required")]
[DisplayName("Date of Birth:")]
//[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public System.DateTime? DateOfBirth { get; set; }

Note: Here even if I had DataType portion commented for DateOfBirth model, I was getting error message. As it was not coming from model actually it was coming from controller end.

Please Help.

Thanks in advance

XML

Solution For This:

In Web Config add this:

<system.web>
    <globalization culture="en-US" />
</system.web>

In Global.asax.cs add this:

 protected void Application_BeginRequest()
        {
            CultureInfo info = new CultureInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString());
            info.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd.MM.yyyy";
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = info;
        }

Solution 2

.net core

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");
            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;

The question was tagged MVC4, and .NET Core had not been released when this question was posted.

Also, changing the application culture to Brazilian Portuguese will potentially break more things than it fixes.
