Creating RadDateTimePicker dynamically

[Norman]

Hi,

I have a requirement to create a number of server controls (e.g. asp textboxes etc.) as well as RadDateTimePickers dynamically (e.g. at runtime) on a webform. I'm using the same approach to create instances of both types of control (see below):

TextBox txt = new TextBox();
txt.ID = "someid"
txt.CssClass = "my-textbox-class";
ph.Add(txt); //add to placeholder control

RadDateTimePicker dtp = new RadDateTimePicker();
dtp.ID = "adifferentid";
dtp.Width = new Unit(200, UnitType.Pixel);
dtp.DateInput.CssClass = "my-datepicker-class";
dtp.TimeView.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 30, 0);
dtp.TimeView.Columns = 6;
ph.Add(dtp); //add to placeholder control

Because they're created dynamically I recreate the controls every time there is a postback. I've noted that the regular asp controls maintain any values entered into them automatically after they're recreated however the RadDateTimePickers don't. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

Sorry I sorted this - I should have set the value after I added the control to the page. All works fine now.

Hello Norman,

I just want to remind you that the controls should be created in the Page_Init handler in order for their server events to work properly.

Hope this helps.
