Default Date for RadDateTimePicker

[Sameer]

Hi,

I have a RadDateTimePicker in my Xaml which is bound with nullable DateTime field in my Model Entity.
If my Entity field is null, I want to display a computed date. I tried using TargetNullvalue in my Binding expression however, it doesn't take dependency property.
So I was just wondering is there a solution for this in your rad control?

Thank you for your help

Hello,

This functionality cannot be achieved with the current version of RadDateTimePicker. We will consider implementing it for the upcoming 2012 Q2 release.

Can you confirm whether this functionality has been included in the 2012 Q2 release?

Hi Myles,

This functionality will not make it trough for the 2012 Q2 release, because there were other tasks with higher priority. However we will consider this when we plan the tasks for the next release.

What about now?  Will it make the next release?  This is really important to us.

Hi Myles,

We investigated this and found that major breaking changes will be required in order to implement this functionality. We also found an easy workaround that allows you to achieve the mentioned functionality.

You can handle the selection changed event, check whether there is no new selected date and set the default or computed date you want. Note that this will result in updating your ViewModel.

All the best,
