How to check date using three drop-down menus (day, month, year) using unobtrusive jquery validation?

I have a model to test, and the problem is the date of birth. It should consist of 3 drop-down lists (day, month, year).

<div id="dob-editor-field" class="model-field-editor">
      @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DateOfBirth, new { @class = "label-div" })
      @Html.Telerik().DropDownList().Name("DobDay").BindTo((SelectList)ViewData["Days"]).HtmlAttributes(new {id = "DobDaySel"})
      @Html.Telerik().DropDownList().Name("DobMonth").BindTo((SelectList)ViewData["Months"]).HtmlAttributes(new { id = "DobMonthSel"})
      @Html.Telerik().DropDownList().Name("DobYear").BindTo((SelectList)ViewData["Years"]).HtmlAttributes(new { id = "DobYearSel" })
      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.DateOfBirth)
</div>

On the server side, I do this

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Register(RegistrationModel regInfo, int DobDay, int DobMonth, int DobYear)
        {
            SetRegisterViewData(DobDay, DobMonth, DobYear);
            if (DobDay == 0 || DobMonth == 0 && DobYear == 0)
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("DateOfBirth", "Date of birth is required");
            }
            else
            {
                DateTime dt = new DateTime(DobYear, DobMonth, DobDay);
                long ticks = DateTime.Now.Ticks - dt.Ticks;
                int years = new DateTime(ticks).Year;
                if (years < 18)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("DateOfBirth", "You must be at least 18");
                }
            }            
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                //register user
                return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
            }
            return View(regInfo);
        }

Questions:

  • Server side: how to make it better? (I'm thinking of adding a dob, month and year. RegisterModeling and adding an attribute on DateOfBirth to check these properties)
  • Client side: I looked at Performing client-side validation for a custom attribute , but that confused me. What is the way to do this?

LE: I created a custom mediator for a date like this:

    public class DobModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
    {
        protected override void BindProperty(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext, System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor)
        {
            if (propertyDescriptor.Name == "DateOfBirth")
            {
                DateTime dob = DateTime.MinValue;
                var form = controllerContext.HttpContext.Request.Form;
                int day = Convert.ToInt32(form["DobDay"]);
                int month = Convert.ToInt32(form["DobMonth"]);
                int year = Convert.ToInt32(form["DobYear"]);
                if (day == 0 || month == 0 || year == 0)
                {
                    SetProperty(controllerContext, bindingContext, propertyDescriptor, DateTime.MinValue);
                }
                else
                {
                    SetProperty(controllerContext, bindingContext, propertyDescriptor, new DateTime(year, month, day));
                }
            }
            else
            {
                base.BindProperty(controllerContext, bindingContext, propertyDescriptor);
            }
        }
    }

I registered it as follows:

ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(DateTime), new DobModelBinder());

I used it as follows:

public ActionResult Register([ModelBinder(typeof(DobModelBinder))]RegistrationModel regInfo)

DateOfBirth is well connected.

I would like to add to Darin Dmitrov : when you select the year, month, and then day, the red frame for checking the year and month remains active. We expect the other two components to sync when a valid date is entered, so I changed JavaScript as shown below. (Two functions, removeChildValidationErrors and addChildValidationErrors, are added and called based on the result of the date check.)

(function ($) {
    $.fn.getDateFromTrippleDdls = function () {
        var year = this.find('select:nth(0)').val();
        var month = this.find('select:nth(1)').val();
        var day = this.find('select:nth(2)').val();
        if (year == '' || month == '' || day == '') {
            return NaN;
        }

        var y = parseInt(year, 10);
        var m = parseInt(month, 10);
        var d = parseInt(day, 10);

        var date = new Date(y, m - 1, d);
        var isValidDate = date.getFullYear() == y && date.getMonth() + 1 == m && date.getDate() == d;
        if (isValidDate) {
            return date;
        }

        return NaN;
    };

    $.fn.removeChildValidationErrors = function () {

        var year = this.find('select:nth(0)');
        var month = this.find('select:nth(1)');
        var day = this.find('select:nth(2)');

        $(year).removeClass("input-validation-error");
        $(month).removeClass("input-validation-error");
        $(day).removeClass("input-validation-error");


    };

    $.fn.addChildValidationErrors = function () {

        var year = this.find('select:nth(0)');
        var month = this.find('select:nth(1)');
        var day = this.find('select:nth(2)');

        $(year).addClass("input-validation-error");
        $(month).addClass("input-validation-error");
        $(day).addClass("input-validation-error");


    };

    $.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add('trippleddldate', [], function (options) {
        options.rules['trippleddldate'] = options.params;
        if (options.message) {
            options.messages['trippleddldate'] = options.message;
        }
    });

    $.validator.addMethod('trippleddldate', function (value, element, params) {
        var parent = $(element).closest('.trippleddldatetime');
        var date = parent.getDateFromTrippleDdls();

        {
          parent.removeChildValidationErrors();
        }
        else
        {
           parent.addChildValidationErrors();
        }


        return !isNaN(date);
    }, '');


})(jQuery);

function removeDefaultDateValidators(selector, validatorToRemove) {
    $('form').each(function () {
        var settings = $(this).validate().settings;
        $(selector, this).each(function () {
