Date format / Date filtering on GridViewDataColumn?

[Robert]

Part 1: Date format in GridViewDataColumn:
I have a need to display a DateTime in a column with the following format: "MMM dd yyyy h:mm:ss tt". How would I go about doing that? Using the DataFormatString dependency property seemed like the logical choice, but did nothing.


Part 2: How do I filter by date?
On the Telerik webpage under the heading "Filtering and Excel-like Filtering", there is a date time filter. How do I enable that for a GridViewDataColumn that has a DateTime as a backing property type? I've tried all sorts of things, and this is what I'm currently using, but it does nothing - I only am able to use the standard string filter.

<t:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastSave, Mode=OneWay}" DataType="{x:Type System:DateTime}" Header="Last Save" IsReadOnly="True" IsGroupable="False" />

Part 3: How do I show empty cells for DateTime.Min values?
I also have the need to show an empty cell if the backing value is DateTime.Min. How would I accomplish that?

Hi Robert,

I have already replied to your support ticket:

Straight to your questions:

1. I was not able to reproduce the problem in our latest release (Q3 2010 Beta). Please check the attached project for a reference.

2. You can check the Custom Filter Controls demo - the Founded column uses just that (this is the Silverlight demo, but the WPF code should be the same)

3. You should use the CellTemplateSelector property of the column. It is included in the attached project as well.

Hope this helps.

The project can be downloaded from here.
