conditional blank for datetime value

[Minh]

Hi,

I have a datetime column within my grid. I would like to set the value within this column to be empty anytime that the
datetime = 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

The row will still retain all other values. please let me know of anyways to do this.

thanks,
Minh Bui

Hello Minh,

Try the following approach to achieve your scenario.
C#:

protected void grdEmail_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
  {

    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
     {
       DateTime test = new DateTime(0001, 01, 01);
       Nullable<DateTime> _myDateTime;
       _myDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(s);
         if (_myDateTime == test)
           {
             item["MyDate"].Text = "";
           }
     }
  }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,

I'm getting s does not exist in this context from the following line

_myDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(s);

Hello,

<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="customdate" HeaderText="customdate" UniqueName="customdate">
                   </telerik:GridDateTimeColumn>

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
       {
           GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
           DateTime dt;
           if (DateTime.TryParse(item["customdate"].Text,out dt))
           {
               if (dt == new DateTime())
               {
                   item["customdate"].Text = string.Empty;
               }
