Binding Exception Handling

[Stephen Cossgrove]

Hi,

i have the following in a RadGrid:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Duration" UniqueName="Duration">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblConferredDate" Text='<%# Eval("ConferredDate") %>'></asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadDatePicker  ID="rdpConferredDate" runat="server" DateInput-EmptyMessage="No Date" DbSelectedDate='<%# Bind("ConferredDate") %>'>
                    </telerik:RadDatePicker >
                </EditItemTemplate>
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

The issue is that when i try to bind to the editItemTemplate i get exception about the mindate. What i would like is that if a date is less than the mindate of the control then set the value to null or empty.

Can anyone tell/show me how to handle bind exceptions?

Hello Stephen,

You can check compare the DatePicker date and the mindate from code behind and set null values as shown below:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            RadDatePicker datePicker = (RadDatePicker)editItem.FindControl("rdpConferredDate");
            DateTime dt1 = (DateTime)datePicker.SelectedDate;
            DateTime minDate = new DateTime(1998,1,1);
            int check = DateTime.Compare(dt1,minDate);
            if( check < 0)
            {
                datePicker.SelectedDate = null;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
