The specified value does not conform to the required format yyyy-MM-dd



I have a .Net MVC 5 application that is using Data Annotations, Entity-Framework Jquery 2.1.3 and Jquery UI 1.11.4.



When I render an edit form with an input of type date using the UK format "dd/MM/YYYY"; the following error message appears when using Google Chrome:



The specified value '10/10/2001' does not conform to the required format, 'yyyy-MM-dd'. jquery-2.1.3.js:5317



Model


public class MyModel

[Column(TypeName = "date"), DataType(DataType.Date), Display(Name = "My date")]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:dd/MM/yyyy")]
public string MyDate get; set;



Mark up


<input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-date="The field My date must be a date." id="MyDate" name="MyDate" type="date" value="10/10/2001" />



The value is set correctly in the input control but the date does not appear in the browser. I first thought this was an issue with jQuery as it is appearing the jQuery script file, but when testing in IE and Firefox everything is working fine.



I then assumed it was my regional setting in chrome as by default Chrome thinks everyone English is in America, I changed the regional setting to UK and still the same issue appears.



A simple fix would be to change the format in my model to universal but to UK users this is a little alien.



Is there a way to tell chrome that accept date formats in "dd/MM/YYYY"?





Are you wanting to render the browsers HTML5 datepicker implementation (or are you using a jquery plugin)?

I suggest you use datepicker ui so the ISO format is sent to the server while dd/MM/dddd will be configured at client side.

datepicker ui


dd/MM/dddd





@StephenMuecke I was going to let the browser handle the date picker, so there is one less need for a third party library.

If your using the browser datepicker, your need to specifiy the attribute as [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:yyyy-MM-dd", ApplyInEditMode = true)]. The browser will then display the value in the browsers locale settings, but post back the ISO format so it will be correctly bound. But note that this is only supported in modern browsers.

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:yyyy-MM-dd", ApplyInEditMode = true)]





Doing this also renders the date in universal format when using DisplayFor() helper method

The specifications for the HTML5 date picker state that the date must be in the format yyyy-MM-dd (ISO format). This means that you DisplayFormatAttribute must be


yyyy-MM-dd


DisplayFormatAttribute


[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:yyyy-MM-dd", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public string MyDate get; set;



Alternatively you can manually add the format using


@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MyDate, "0:yyyy-MM-dd", new @type = "date" )



The later option allows you to keep the DataFormatString = "0:dd/MM/yyyy") for usage in @Html.DisplayFor()


DataFormatString = "0:dd/MM/yyyy")


@Html.DisplayFor()





Is there any less janky workaround than using JS to reformat the box after loading the page? [DisplayFormat] causes jQuery to reset the field and give an invalid value message in the console. Formatting it in TextBoxFor solves this error (and allows me to apply my mask plugin), but still displays the date in ISO format. On domReady, I move the values around to use American formatting.

[DisplayFormat]


TextBoxFor





@Sinjai, Sorry, I don't understand your comment. [DisplayFormat] and jQuery are not related in anyway (it will not reset a value), and this question/answer relates to the browsers HTML-5 datepicker implementation (it has nothing to do with a mask plugin). If your having an issue, then ask a new question with the relevant details

[DisplayFormat]





Yeah, probably too much for an aside in a comment. I don't have any better way to word it for a question, though. jQuery is used in ASP.NET MVC projects for validation, and I presume that's what's freaking out. Console just says the error originates in jquery-version.js. Don't worry about it.

I know this is an old question but I'm hoping for an answer and it feels stupid writing a formal question about this... ApplyFormatInEditMode = true is used to keep the format in @Html.EditorFor() right? then howcome I still get that error (the one in the question) in the console when trying to fill an @Html.EditorFor() with a DateTime and [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:yyyy-MM-dd", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)].... Any ideas? or am I confusing Edit mode with something else?

ApplyFormatInEditMode = true


@Html.EditorFor()


@Html.EditorFor()


DateTime


[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "0:yyyy-MM-dd", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]


Edit mode





@FllnAngl, If its not working for you, then I can only assume you have other code, or something your not telling us that is causing the issue.

You can use the InputTagHelper.Format


<input asp-for="MyDate" asp-format="0:yyyy-MM-dd" />

How can I do this only for Chrome. But not IE?

I'd like to highlight something in the answer here.



If you are building an application that has Globalization and Localization then the method of passing in a format using a Html helper will be better. You can also just use EditorFor and pass in the necessary id or class for datepicker.



Set the type attribute to text.


type


@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MyDate, new @type = "text" )



The issue could be from the type="date". That was my situation anyway. Worked once it was changed to type="text". If the interface is built with an MVC wrapper, you need to replace or set the html attribute accordingly.

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
