                <td align="center" >
                    :

            <tr>
                <td ></td><td>
                    <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnCheck" Text="Check"

                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    </form>

In C#:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class ValidateDatesWithanyFormat : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    bool validateDate()
    {
        bool bval = true;
        DateTime dt;
        if (!DateTime.TryParse(txtStartDate.Text, out dt))
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Invalid", "alert('Enter Valid Start Date');", true);
            bval = false;
        }

        if (!DateTime.TryParse(txtEndDate.Text, out dt))
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Invalid", "alert('Enter Valid End Date');", true);
            bval = false;
        }

        if (bval == true)
        {
            DateTime dtStartDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtStartDate.Text); // start date in textbox
            DateTime dtEndDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtEndDate.Text);     // end date in textbox
            if (dtStartDate > dtEndDate)
            {

                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Invalid", "alert('Enter End Date is Greater than Start Date');", true);

                bval = false;
            }

            DateTime SqlminDate = new DateTime(1900, 1, 1);

            if (SqlminDate > dtStartDate || SqlminDate > dtEndDate)
            {
                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Invalid", "alert('Date greater than 1900');", true);
                bval = false;
            }

        }
        return bval;

    }
    protected void btnCheck_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        validateDate();
    }
}


In VB.NET:
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Linq
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

Partial Public Class ValidateDatesWithanyFormat
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    End Sub
    Private Function validateDate() As Boolean
        Dim bval As Boolean = True
        Dim dt As DateTime
        If Not DateTime.TryParse(txtStartDate.Text, dt) Then
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.[GetType](), "Invalid", "alert('Enter Valid Start Date');", True)
            bval = False
        End If

        If Not DateTime.TryParse(txtEndDate.Text, dt) Then
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.[GetType](), "Invalid", "alert('Enter Valid End Date');", True)
            bval = False
        End If

        If bval = True Then
            Dim dtStartDate As DateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(txtStartDate.Text)
            ' start date in textbox
            Dim dtEndDate As DateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(txtEndDate.Text)
            ' end date in textbox
            If dtStartDate > dtEndDate Then

                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.[GetType](), "Invalid", "alert('Enter End Date is Greater than Start Date');", True)

                bval = False
            End If

            Dim SqlminDate As New DateTime(1900, 1, 1)

            If SqlminDate > dtStartDate OrElse SqlminDate > dtEndDate Then
                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.[GetType](), "Invalid", "alert('Date greater than 1900');", True)
                bval = False

            End If
        End If
        Return bval

    End Function
    Protected Sub btnCheck_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        validateDate()
    End Sub
End Class
