Validating Dates d/mm/yyyy

[Patrick.O.Ige]

I'm using this CompareValidator to validate dates but my default its
mm/dd/yyyy
<asp:CompareValidator ControlToValidate="DOB" Display="Dynamic"
Text="Invalid birth date!" Operator="DataTypeCheck"
Type="Date" Runat="Server" ID="DOBcompval" />
Is there a way i can change it to dd/mm/yyyy of course if not using
RegularExpressionValidator
Any ideas

The validators use the current culture and the system's configuration in the
Regions settings to determine what the proper format is. You can change the
culture at the page or application level via:

<%@ Page Culture="es-MX" UICulture="es-MX" %>
which is "Spanish - Mexico"

OR

<configuration><system.web>
<globalization culture="es-MX" uiCulture="es-MX" />
</system.web></configuration>

Of course, the regularexpression is always an option, or you can validate on
the server using Date.ParseExact.

Thx Karl.
Didn't just think of changing the glob culture..
That could have done the trick faster than using regex
