very strange: working with mozilla, ie7 and below but not for ie8

Jan 04, 2013 09:19 AM|LINK

hi all the below is my code for some working

try
        {
            DateTime Leave_From = DateTime.ParseExact(txtDate_From.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
            DateTime Leave_To = DateTime.ParseExact(txtDate_To.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
            if (Leave_To < Leave_From)
            {
                txtDate_To.Text = "";
                WebMsgBox.Show("To date should be greater than From date");
            }
            else
            {
                btnSearch.Enabled = true;
            
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            WebMsgBox.Show("Date is not valid");
        }

very starnge that this code is working for all browsers like ie7 , mozilla 12.0. but it is not working for ie8 why ?

every time when I put a condition for try catch it shows message "Date is not valid why ?

and if I changed my code's two line like below

DateTime Leave_From = ConvertTodateTime(txtDate_From.Text);
 DateTime Leave_To = ConvertToDateTimet(txtDate_To.Text);

then it shows error The String was not recognised a valid DateTime

You need to debug the code to see exactly what is in "txtDate_From" and "txtDate_To" as they probably don't have what you expect them to have. If this is browser related then the issue is with whatever you are doing to populate these textboxes as the server code is browser independent. I guess you are using some javascript or something that isn't working in ie8 as it is in other browsers. Regardless, the actualy issue is highly unlikely to be the code you have posted.

this is my aspx code

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDate_From" runat="server" CssClass="link" Width="180px"></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:CalendarExtender ID="txtDate_From_CalendarExtender" Format="dd/MM/yyyy" runat="server"
                    Enabled="True" TargetControlID="txtDate_From">
                </asp:CalendarExtender>
          </td>
        <td style="width: 108px">
                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server"
                    ControlToValidate="txtDate_From" ErrorMessage="Select From Date">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                </td>
        <td style="width: 63px">&nbsp;</td><td align="left" class="ver11bold">To Date</td>
          <td align="center" class="ver11bold">:</td><td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtDate_To" runat="server" CssClass="link"
                    AutoPostBack="True" ontextchanged="txtDate_To_TextChanged" Width="180px"></asp:TextBox>
                <asp:CalendarExtender ID="txtDate_To_CalendarExtender" Format="dd/MM/yyyy" runat="server"
                    Enabled="True" TargetControlID="txtDate_To">
                </asp:CalendarExtender>
                </td>
          <td>
                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator2" runat="server"
                    ControlToValidate="txtDate_To" ErrorMessage="Select To Date">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

and this is my code file

 protected void txtDate_To_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            DateTime Leave_From = DateTime.ParseExact(txtDate_From.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
            DateTime Leave_To = DateTime.ParseExact(txtDate_To.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", null);
            if (Leave_To < Leave_From)
            {
                txtDate_To.Text = "";
                WebMsgBox.Show("To date should be greater than From date");
            }
            else
            {
                btnSearch.Enabled = true;
            
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            WebMsgBox.Show("Date is not valid");
        }
    }

please try my code with ie8 and let me know where I am doing wrong

Use the Developer tool on IE8 (by pressing F12) and see what's happening with the control.

In the code behind, see if you are getting the value back. Check if JavaScript is turned off/on in IE8. Also, check in different conputers - that is on multiple of installations of IE8 just to be sure.

I changed my code's two line like below
DateTime Leave_From = ConvertTodateTime(txtDate_From.Text);
 DateTime Leave_To = ConvertToDateTimet(txtDate_To.Text);

You are Using the Wrong Method over here..

It would be like this:

DateTime Leave_From = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate_From.Text);
DateTime Leave_To = Convert.ToDateTime(txtDate_To.Text);

sys.InvalidoperationException occurs when the method was called but the exception is not caused by invalid arguments..

Debug Your code...
