Date columns in Gridview

[Sandi Markon]

Hello.

I have 2 date columns in GridView. When inserting a new row, when I click first date column, today's date appears in calendar and when I click second one, date which appears in calendar is 1.1.1900. What do I have to set that when inserting new row, default date when I open calendar would be today's date.

Hi Sandi Markon,

Thank you for writing.

I am unable to reproduce the described behavior. The date time editor always shows today the default value. However you can try to explicitly set it in CellBeginEdit event:

void radGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    RadDateTimeEditor editor = this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor as RadDateTimeEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        ((RadDateTimeEditorElement)editor.EditorElement).Value = DateTime.Today;
    }
}

Please, keep in mind that this code is tested with Q2 2009. Let me know if you are using an older version or this does not help.
