    I've responded to the GForm, but it's hard to type in one line. Would it make sense to open a discussion on the internal discussion forum?

    @Chris, I'm not referring to a control that allows me to choose a single format that would apply across the app. I mean a control that can parse all of these formats at once.

    You may receive lists of information with dates from many sources, or have different users that use different conventions.

    It's not a ridiculous notion. I've built exactly this type of control for financial industry client applications. Traders, brokers & clerks have many shorthands for date formats. including the above formats, 9Dec, 9Dec20 (with and without spaces) as well as tenor dates 3mo, 1yr, 30d, etc. would all work at any time in a single control.

    Something off the shelf is not going to do this, but if you are able to build custom controls (maybe enhancing an existing one through inheritence), it's fairly straightforward.

    You basically have the control try to parse & validate the input with successive formats until it succeeds, only failing if they all fail, then present the uniformly formatted result back to the user. (we used DevExpress or Infragistics base text box/date picker input controls to start, then attached the parsing sequence to that)

    Note that it is only the parsing that tries different methods. You settle on one format (possibly a global setting) for display.
