When I enter values say 09/08/2009 and when I hit save, it gets saved on the database as 09/08/2009. But on the client side the value is changed from 09/08/2009 to 9/8/2009. If I enter another value say 11/12/2008. It gets saved in the database same as 11/12/2008 also on the client side there is no change at this time. The value is 11/11/2008. So in short, 09/08/2009 is changed to 9/8/2009.Can any body explain this?

If you are using SQL Server, it does not save the leading 0s in a datetime column.

I would have gone for some format expressions.
