What is the simplest way to validate a date in asp.net C#?

I'm using DateTime.ParseExact to parse a string from input. What is the simplest way to make sure the date complies to rules like max days in a month or no 0. month?

From stackoverflow

• You could do additional validation using...

  DateTime.TryParse();

  Hope this helps.

• As BoltBait said, or DateTime.TryParseExact() if you know the exact format of the string.

• The answers for doing the DateTime.TryParse() are great if you are doing this check in your code behind, but if you are capturing this data on the UI, then I would highly reccomend validing the input as well before the postback to the code behind occurs.

  <strong>Date:</strong>
  <asp:textbox ID="txtEnterDate" runat="server"></asp:textbox>
  <asp:CompareValidator ID="cvEnterDate" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtEnterDate"
      ErrorMessage="Must Be Valid Date" Operator="DataTypeCheck" 
      SetFocusOnError="True" Type="Date"></asp:CompareValidator>
