RadDateTimePicker/RadDatePicker DbSelectedDate null reference in insertitemtempalte

[Mira Live]

Hi!

When using RadDate/RadDateTimePicker in formview insertitemtemplate it´s throwing a null reference exception if no date has been selected.

Code: 

<radControls:DateTimePicker ID="dateTimePicker1" runat="server"

FocusedDate='<%#DateTime.Now %>'

DbSelectedDate='<%#Bind("PremisesStartDate")%>'

TabIndex="4"/>

Hi!

The demo doesn´t apply to my problem, first of all the example only covers EditItemTemplates, with these the DateTimePicker is working as intended. It´s when used in a InsertItemTemplate the problems occur, the issue applies on the numerictextbox as well. All my databinding uses the DbXXX property where available.

I have found a work around but it´s not very nice. Before actually calling my database layer i iterate through the e.values (as received from the insert command generated by the formview) and remove the ones having a datetime value that doesn´t evaluate as a proper datetime value. This is done for the numerictextboxes as well.

Same for me ^_^

Even with the last control package the issue still persist.

Any update on this issue ?!

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Sebastien,

I am not quite sure how to replicate the problem, but the link below demonstrates how you can use RadDatePicker. It seems to be working as expected with latest release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for your update on this .. the DbSelectedDate object representation works as expected ... and avoid the APSX parser to raise an exception on invalid cast from DB.NULL to DateTime.

Thanks again for your quick answer.
