Problem with Date picker using an invalid culture setting
Description

Problem with Date picker using an invalid culture setting. The date picker component can pick up a different culture setting (based on the browser settings) to the actual web project. It then causes an error:

"An error has occurred.

String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
Cause

Product defect 23855. When the web.config is set to use runtime culture "en-US", but the browser uses a different culture setting, the error will occur.
Resolution

Check the web.config file. The setting in the globalisation tag has to match the language setting of the web application:

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB" />
