Fixing MaskedEditExtender to prefix date with correct Century

Question

Hi,

I am using a MaskedEditExtender on a textbox to verify a date. MaskType="Date" Mask="99/99/9999". Users of the system are used to typing just the last two digits of the year (i.e. 22/06/10) so I am trying to make this possible.

I have tried using Century="2000" but this option does not seem to function at all (still results in 22/06/0010).

A response in another forum suggests modifying the MaskedEditBehavior.js file to fix this behaviour - see here.

My question is, how should I go about modifying the MaskedEditBehavior.js file (as suggested in the link above), and how do I ensure that this modification is distributed with my application? I cannot even find this file to modify.

Many thanks,

Tom

set this <cc1:CalendarExtender Format="dd/MM/yyyy" to your calendear extender

Edit: then add this method in your code behind and try..

protected override void InitializeCulture()
{
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
    base.InitializeCulture();
}
