I think you will find that verifying date formats will be tough. For us it is impossible as folks use long and short formats as well as MM/DD/YY and DD/MM/YY formats. Some use full 4 digits for year and some use the shortened format.
The only validation we do is that the date is within a valid range for what ever the date field is used for.

I want to catch wrong input before that the system will throw some errors. Is it possible?
