[Solved] Binding to DatePicker and TimePicker

[Eitan]

Hi,



I develop Windows 8, Metro, C#, WinRT application.



I would like to bind DatePicker and TimePicker controls to DateTime type of variables?



I am looking for an example to do it.



Thanks,

Hi Eitan,

Thank you for your interest in our Windows 8 toolkit.

You can have a look at how the Date/TimePicker components work in our example within the Demo Application (or QSF how we call it). A shortcut to the QSF solution is placed on your Desktop together when you install RadControls for Metro.

You can take a look at this blog post for more information about the QSF:

Using RadControls for Metro QSF

I hope this information is useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Got the binding one side, but when I define the control like this (Mode=TwoWay):

<telerik:RadDatePicker

  x:Name="EndDate"

  Width="400"

  FontSize="20"

  DisplayValueFormat="dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"

  Value="{Binding EndDate, Converter={StaticResource nullableConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}"

  FontFamily="Global User Interface"

  FontWeight="Bold"

  VerticalAlignment="Center"/>



with Mode=TwoWay the application crashes.

Thanks,

Hi



I am having the same problem, when using oneway binding it is fine however when you change it to twoway binding the app crashes and the error seems to be in the nullableConverter according to the stack trace.



thanks
