Hi,
We are using GridDateTimeColumn of RadGrid to show date field. Everything works fine except "Equal to" filter of DateTime Column.
See the syntax for GridDateTimeColumn below
<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn FilterControlWidth="95px" HeaderText="Requested Date" Visible="true" ItemStyle-Width="200px"
DataField="RequestedDate" PickerType="DatePicker" SortExpression="RequestedDate" />
We are using the "2011.1.519.35" version of telerik and after googling, I found that the issue is fixed in the recent versions.
But we can't afford to upgrade the telerik at this point of time, as our site is on production.
Can you please suggest some alternative to fix this issue.
Thanks!!

Hello Sheetal,
Generally, we recommend our users to upgrade to the latest major release version of RadControls so their projects would be up to date to any improvements and fixes. In your case we will need a very basic sample runnable web site demonstrating the problematic behavior. Thus, I will forward it to our developers to consider a possible work-around with the mentioned version.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have created one PoC to replicate the issue.
Please see the code below.
ASPX code

gridTest.DataSource = GetData();
gridTest.DataBind();
}
private DataTable GetData()
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Title");
dt.Columns.Add("RequestedDate", typeof(DateTime));
DataRow dr = null;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Title"] = "test " + i.ToString();
dr["RequestedDate"] = System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(i);
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

return dt;

Let me know if I can do something with this code without upgrading to latest telerik version.
Currently I am using "2011.1.519.35" Telerik version.

Hi Sheetal,
Please note that using DataBind() is not recommended. Performing complex grid operations such as Inserting, Deleting, Updating, Hierarchy relations, Grouping, Paging, Sorting, Filtering, etc. require accommodating appropriate database operations. Therefore, we suggest you to avoid Simple Databinding and strongly recommend the use of more advanced databinding methods, which automatically handle the aforementioned functions:
Declarative DataSource
Advanced Data Binding
Please make the suggested modification and let me know about the result.

Please let us know what could be the cause for the cause for the exception.

Hi Sheetal,
Please try to remove the following lines from the NeedDataSource event handler:
If the issue remains, please send us a very basic runnable web site demonstrating the problematic behavior. Thus, we will be able to further debug and analyze the project and suggest a proper solution.
