Problem with conversion failed

Question

I have two inputDate control, one for start_date, the other for end_date.
Each inputDate has a convertDateTime and a validator that check whether start_date is smaller than end_date.
First, I input the valid date data, all thing is OK.
Then, I input a invalid string such as "a" in end_date and start_date, the error messages displayed.
Then, I input a valid date data in end_date. After the conversion complete, the validation is executing.
When I want to get the start_date value, the value is not the "a" but the valid value before.
How can I get the failed data or failed status ? Or skip the validation when one input conversion failed?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I think the problem is a spelling error: you named your structure "structs" and then you refer to it as "struct".
You have to choose one between the two (or a better one if you can find it).
