DisplayValueFormat exception error

[Steven]

Hi

I need details on how to set the DisplayValueFormat in RadTimeSpanPicker programmatically. Keeps giving me a format error with all my attempts to blindly work out the format structure.

Require “h:mm” but gives me a format exception error.

Kind regards

Hello Steven,

RadTimeSpanPicker internally uses the TimeSpan.ToString() method to format the value string. You can take a look at MSDN for details on what format strings are supported.

As for your particular case: try using "h\:mm" and let me know if it works.

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,

Hi Deyan

RadTimeSpanPicker breaktime = new RadTimeSpanPicker();

breaktime.DisplayValueFormat = "h\:mm";

 

This gives me the pre compile error "Unrecognized escape sequence" highlighting the colon.

Maybe your example below refers to a Xaml example but not the same in code.

regards

Sorry for last post I worked it out.

breaktime.DisplayValueFormat = "h':'mm";

colon needs to be in quotes.
