Hello Everyone,

I am new to Rad Grid and want to put DateTimePicker in a Column which has data type Datetime.

However when I specify AutoGenerateColumns="True" at that time DateTimePicker is generated in Column Filter.
But when I doing AutoGenerateColumns="False" and Generate Columns in Page_Load Event at that time all code is same
but instead of DateTimePicker TextBox is generated.

So anyone can help me how to enable DateTimePicker for Filter Column when I generate columns in code behind ?

However I have also specify DataType property when I am adding columns to Grid.

Here is code that I am using.I have declared grid in ASPX Page and just want to describe structure from code behind.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

{

AddColumns();

ViewState["DataSet"] = GetData();

}

private void AddColumns()

{

GridBoundColumn colCustomerID = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colBirthDate = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colName = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colAddress = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colPhone = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colSalary = new GridBoundColumn();

GridBoundColumn colBoolTest = new GridBoundColumn();

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colCustomerID);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colBirthDate);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colName);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colAddress);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colPhone);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colSalary);

rgDemo.Columns.Add(colBoolTest);

colCustomerID.DataField = "EmployeeID";

colCustomerID.HeaderText = "EmployeeID";

colCustomerID.UniqueName = "EmployeeID";

colBirthDate.DataField = "BirthDate";

colBirthDate.HeaderText = "BirthDate";

colBirthDate.DataType = Type.GetType("System.DateTime");

colBirthDate.AllowFiltering = true;

colBirthDate.UniqueName = "BirthDate";

colBirthDate.DataFormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}";

colName.DataField = "Name";

colName.HeaderText = "Name";

colName.UniqueName = "Name";

colAddress.DataField = "Address";

colAddress.HeaderText = "Address";

colAddress.UniqueName = "Address";

colPhone.DataField = "Phone";

colPhone.HeaderText = "Phone";

colPhone.UniqueName = "Phone";

colSalary.DataField = "Salary";

colSalary.HeaderText = "Salary";

colSalary.UniqueName = "Salary";

colBoolTest.DataField = "BoolTest";

colBoolTest.HeaderText = "BoolTest";

colBoolTest.DataType = typeof(Boolean);

}

private DataSet GetData()

{

DataSet _dsData = new DataSet();

DataTable _dtData = new DataTable("Employee");

DataColumn _dc1 = new DataColumn("EmployeeID", typeof(string));

DataColumn _dc2 = new DataColumn("BirthDate", typeof(DateTime));

DataColumn _dc3 = new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string));

DataColumn _dc4 = new DataColumn("Address", typeof(string));

DataColumn _dc5 = new DataColumn("Phone", typeof(string));

DataColumn _dc6 = new DataColumn("Salary", typeof(int));

DataColumn _dc7 = new DataColumn("BoolTest", typeof(int));

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc1);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc3);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc2);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc4);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc5);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc6);

_dtData.Columns.Add(_dc7);

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)

{

string index = Convert.ToString(i + 1);

DataRow dr = _dtData.NewRow();

dr["EmployeeID"] = "E000" + index;

dr["Name"] = "Employee " + index;

dr["Address"] = "Address " + index;

dr["Phone"] = "123-56789";

dr["Salary"] = Convert.ToString((i + 1) * 1000);

dr["BirthDate"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(i + 1);

dr["BoolTest"] = (i % 2) == 0 ? true : false;

_dtData.Rows.Add(dr);

}

_dsData.Tables.Add(_dtData);

return _dsData;

}

protected void rgDemo_OnNeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

//Write code to get data in DataSet ds

DataSet _ds = (DataSet)ViewState["DataSet"];

rgDemo.VirtualItemCount = _ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;

rgDemo.DataSource = _ds;

}
