    How can I change the default field template error message to something more generic. Currently I get 'Cannot convert value of parameter 'EnteredService' from 'System.String' to 'System.DateTime'.

    Sorry, I'm trying to display a simple 'Invalid Date' message when the entered text is not convertable to a DateTime. Currently it appears as tho the DynamicValidator in the DateTime_Edit.ascx is catching the exception thrown from linq and displaying 'Cannot convert value...'. I'd like to know how to intercept this and return back a more user friendly error message. I'd rather not implement a regex validation attribute since it wouldn't be culture neutral.

    You could use a CustomValidator and then have some server side code to do the validation setting the vslidateors property IsValid to false
