DateTime as Date only

[Matthew]

I'm using a Grid with In-line editing.  I've got the display working properly, but when I go into edit mode the default editor is a Date and Time picker.  I just want a date picker (no time)

I changed the underlying SQL database to a "Date" column, but the ORM model doesn't seem to support a "Date" column so I'm stuck with a DateTime field.

How do I force a date picker (without time) in the grid?

c.Bound(j => j.DueDate).Width(105).Title("Due Date").Format("{0:d}").ClientTemplate("<#= $.telerik.formatString('{0:d}', DueDate) #>");

c.Bound(j => j.DueDate).Width(95).Title("Due Date").Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}");

Hi Matthew,


Basically the DateTimePicker is used because it is the default component used as editor template for DateTime objects. You can either change the editor template called DateTime under the Shared/EditorTemplates folder to use DatePicker or you can use an [UIHint("YourEditorName")] attribute to specify a custom EditorTemplate which uses DatePicker.

Perfect!  That worked.

I was a little nervous because my model is created via ORM.  I'll have to maintain the model manually from this point forward, but I don't see that as a big issue since my model is pretty stable at this point.

For those that don't know, I had to do the following:

1.  In my model add a reference to using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

2.  Add [UIHint("Date")] in my model for the DateTime field
3.  Modify my Date template to permit null dates by adding a question mark at the top of the template 

@model DateTime?

Note: I already had added question marks in the model for the DateTime field.

As always, thanks for your help.
