DisplayDateStart blows up

[Scott Michetti]

Hello, the following code causes a silverlight error. Is there a workaround?
MyDatePicker.DisplayDateStart = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);

Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 1001   
Category: ParserError      
Message: AG_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR

Interesting though, the following code does not cause an error.
MyDatePicker.DisplayDateStart = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5);

I wonder if this is related to issue 2717 on this thread.

Thanks.

I just noticed that depending on the date of the computer, this will or will not have an error. On Aug 5, DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5);
didn't error. But today, Aug 6, DateTime.Now.AddDays(-5)  does error. DateTime.Now.AddDays(-6); will not error today.
Also, I'm using the DatePicker, not the DateTimePicker.

After spending some time trying to workaround this bug I have reached a point where I have got it to work with one usercontrol but not the other (where it is initially collapsed and then becomes visible when required). This bug was reported last year and still hasn't been resolved. 

Is there any timeframe for fixing this bug as it is quite frustrating.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

The fix was delayed due to some more urgent tasks. We understand that this is an annoying problem and it is in our ToDo list, but at the moment we cannot commit a certain timeframe for fixing it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Best wishes,
