Date format (MM/dd/yyyy ) in ajax calendar extender


I am building an asp.net application. In that i have 2 date fields, from date and to date. I used the ajax calender extender to show the calender. i need the date in MM/dd/YYYY format and i got it. But the thing is,if I select 12 dec 2013 it appears as 12/12/2013 and if I select 1 dec 2012, then it shows 12/1/2013. So what my issue is i just want the month and date to be in 2 digits always.ie 1 dec 2012 is 12/01/2012.My code is as follows. 

<asp:TextBox ID="txt_from" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY" runat="server" 
        AutoPostBack="True" ontextchanged="txt_from_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:CalendarExtender ID="txt_from_CalendarExtender" runat="server" 
        Enabled="True" TargetControlID="txt_from">
    </asp:CalendarExtender>

Globalization is important but not enough. You must add below line into ScriptManager tag.

EnableScriptLocalization="true" EnableScriptGlobalization="true"

You have missed Format attribute in CalendarExtender

<asp:TextBox ID="txt_from" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY" runat="server" 
        AutoPostBack="True" ontextchanged="txt_from_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:CalendarExtender ID="txt_from_CalendarExtender" runat="server"  Format="MM/dd/yyyy"
        Enabled="True" TargetControlID="txt_from">
    </asp:CalendarExtender>

Happy Coding

You should use your web.config file as follows

<globalization culture="en-GB"/>

I think the problem could be the culture problem. If you set it in your web.config file it should work.

Here is a msdn link about culture setting
