| The Date component offers a facility to allow an end-user to specify a date. Since the various fields of this component internally perform a validity check, the value returned by this component will always conform to a valid date (e.g. it won't be possible to enter 30 February, or 65 April). Whether the date entered is within a range acceptable to the application will still need to be validated by the application software. |
