Datepicker mindate and maxdate setting from code behind

[Sanjay]

Hello,
I have the following code in code behind page. The rdpDate is a date picker. The code does not seem to take effect as in the entry mode it allows to select earlier than the mindate and also the later than the maxdate?

 

 

If Not currProject.ProjectStart = Nothing Then

 

rdpDate.MinDate = currProject.ProjectStart

 

 

End If

 

 

 

If Not currProject.ProjectEnd = Nothing Then

 

rdpDate.MaxDate = currProject.ProjectEnd

 

 

End If

 

Here is the aspx control defination:

<

 

 

telerik:RadDatePicker ID="rdpDate" runat="server" DateInput-CausesValidation="true"

 

 

 

SkinID="dpRegular">

 

 

 

</telerik:RadDatePicker>

 

Thanks,
Sanjay

Hello Sanjay,


I am not familiar with the issue that you are facing. In which event you are setting the MinDate and MaxDate properties? I tried in Page_Load and that worked well for me.

Code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     rdpDate.MinDate = DateTime.Now.Date;         // Example
}

Also check whether you are getting correct values in Date format - currProject.ProjectStart and currProject.ProjectEnd.

I have the same problem with the maxdate being set from the code behind.  I am setting it in the load event of the datepicker.  I am setting the DateInput.MaxDate and Calendar.RangeMaxDate to the same value.  The calendar gets restricted, but the input takes any value.  I don't get an errors or anything.. It just doesn't seem to update the validater for the input to the new max.  Is this an issue with the DatePicker or could I be missing something that would cause that?

Hello Mike,

Find attached a small runnable application which uses your settings and works correctly on my side. Test it locally and let me know what the difference in your case is.

Maria,

I can reproduce my issue with your code if I have the MaxDate set (tested 1/1/2100) in the control code of the aspx page.  When the MaxDate is changed in the code behind, It updates the MaxDate for the calendar, but the textbox part still uses the old limit.

Hi Mike,

Note that it is not a correct scenario to set the Min or Max date properties in mark up and code behind at the same time. I would suggest you to use just one way for setting the properties so they would be correctly applied.

Maria,

I think there had been a reason why I needed to have it in both places, but I guess I will have to handle that all in the code behind then..  It seems like that would be considered a bug though, since it partially works (calendar, not input).

Hi Mike,

We will log this behaviour in our system and will proceed with some additional tests for the control in order to isolate if the problem is a bug and if possible fix is available.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
