Compare Validator and Date format 1

[mrp9090]

What date format does the Compare Validator check against? The date format of the web server or of the client?

<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator2" runat="server"
Display="None" ErrorMessage="Please enter a valid date in format dd/mm/yyyy"
ControlToValidate="txtDueDate" Type="Date" Operator="DataTypeCheck"></asp:CompareValidator>

Since it is a server control, I would assume the server dateformat would be used.

hmm, this lead me to do some research, it seems that changing culture for ComapreValidator is not possible in ASP.NET 1.x, but in 2.x there seems to be a "Culture Invariant Values"
