asp.net calendar validation

Question

I use a textbox and get the selected date from calendar. After that I use a range validator like this

Calendar1.SelectionMode = CalendarSelectionMode.Day
Calendar1.SelectedDate = Date.Today
rvDate.ControlToValidate = "txtValidate"
rvDate.Type = ValidationDataType.Date
rvDate.MinimumValue = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
rvDate.MaximumValue = ((Date.Today).AddDays(7)).ToShortDateString()
rvDate.ErrorMessage = "Select date between today to next 7 day!"

During run time, I got error like this

System.Web.HttpException: The value '26-Jul-12' of the MaximumValue property of 'rvDate' cannot be converted to type 'Date'. How can I solve this problem?

Do you have a tag in your web.config? – aquinas Jul 19 '12 at 03:54 — aquinas, Jul 19 '12 at 03:54

The validator will call DateTime.Parse on the MaximumValue, as you provided the Type as Date, and it is failing. What is Date.Today?
