[Hadoop]

I've to populate the RadDatePicker from database. From database, i am accessing the data value as string. I am having problem to set that value to RadDatePicker.

Form sample ::

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Date of Birth : </td>
        <td>
            <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dtp_DOB" runat="server"></telerik:RadDatePicker>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

in code behing page ::

DataTable dt = GetPersonalDetails(p_id);

if (dt != null && dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
    DataRow dr = dt.Rows[0];
    string DOB_ = dr["DateOfBirth"].ToString();
    dtp_DOB.SelectedDate = ????
}

How to show the date retrieved from database to RadDatePicker? Please help.

Hi,

As the data-binding documentation article states:
When embedding the RadDatePicker control inside a data-bound control, use a data-binding expression to bind the value of the input control to the data source of the parent control. In addition to calling Eval and Bind methods to perform data binding in a data-binding expression,you can call any publicly scoped code within the <%# and %> delimiters to execute that code and return a value during page processing.
Revise the provided help topic and see if it helps.
