I ,in MCV2.0 framework, created model with property of type DateTime.
I using maskedit also on that textbox for allowing only partial editing of date. But maskedit is submitting this form field with placeholders '_'
when user don't fill this entry.
Validation summary than have entry for that property like

The value '2010-10-__' is not valid for {...}.

How to localize that message? I certainly don't want it in English?
Any thoughts?

Nope. This solution it's a pure ASP. My project is running on MVC2.0 framework.
But thanks Anyway! :)

I must have interpreted this "But maskedit is submitting this form field..." as being a web form.

You could however use COleDateTime::ParseDateTime to check the date. This will return true if the date is correct, false otherwise.
if (COleDateTime::ParseDateTime(MyDateMskEdit.ClipText)) {/* valid date */} else {/* invalid date */}

I added string value for date in model:

C#

[DatePickerValidator]
public string base_date{ get; set; }

for this date property.
String is always valid so this validation never occurs.
DatePickerValidator validates if this string is valid as date. If is not the controller adds appropriate message.

C#

public class DatePickerValidatorAttribute : ValidationAttribute
   {
       public override bool IsValid(object value)
       {
           var parsed_date = new DateTime();
           if (value != null && DateTime.TryParse(value.ToString(), out parsed_date)) return true;
           return false;
       }

       public override string FormatErrorMessage(string name)
       { return base.FormatErrorMessage(name); }
   }
