Jquery client validation for custom attribute

Question

I have created a Custom Validation Attribute:

public sealed class DateAttribute : DataTypeAttribute
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="EmailAddressAttribute"/> class.
        /// </summary>
        public DateAttribute() : base(DataType.Date)
        {
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Checks that the value of the data field is valid.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="value">The data field value to validate.</param>
        /// <returns>
        /// true always.
        /// </returns>
        public override bool IsValid(object value)
        {
            DateTime inputDate = Convert.ToDateTime(value, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

            if (inputDate.Date >= DateTime.Now.Date.AddMonths(-2) && inputDate.Date <= DateTime.Now.Date.AddMonths(2))
                return true;

            return false;
        }
}

The above code need post back to server, how can I get this to work on client side too with jquery?

Thanks, -Naren

Stuart Leeks has a blog post about building a date range validator, including client side, with jquery datepicker.

It might be more than you need, but it definitely will fulfill what you're looking for.

You can't make this code work client-side automagically. You will have to write the similar validation code in JavaScript, and configure jquery.validation to apply this validation method.

This doesn't sound easy to me. You'll have to parse the date into JavaScript Date object, and the parsing will vary with different cultures. If I were you, I would think of some other way of date handling. For example, jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker
