[Solved] Error when Value = MaxDate

[Wade]

I have the following code in my view.
<%= Html.Hidden("UserId", ViewData["userId"], new { UserId = ViewData["userId"] })%>
<label for="DatePicker-input">Task Entry Date (Required)</label>
<%= Html.Telerik()
                        .DatePicker()
                        .Name("selDate")
                        .MinDate((DateTime)ViewData["prgmStartDate"])
                        .MaxDate((DateTime)ViewData["prgmEndDate"])
                        .Value((DateTime)ViewData["prgmDefDate"])
%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("selDate", "*")%>

If I feed the DatePicker a dates from the Controller,where occasionally .MaxDate = .Value occurs.  (In my case, its where the program date is the same date as today, or today is past the program date, either of which I set the value in the controller to be the same date as the max).  When that occurs, you get the following error:

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: Date should be less than MinDate and bigger than MaxDate

To get around this, I am adding 23 hours to the end of the program date. So technically, Value is always < MaxDate.

Just thought I would let someone know.  Seems like a little bug to me.

Hello Wade,

Thank you for pointing our attention to this erroneous behavior. Indeed this is a little flow in the settings verification. The fix will be applied in the official version.

Nevertheless if you need to fix it by your own, you can use this code patch:

private void VerifySettings()
{
    if (MinDate > MaxDate)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException(TextResource.MinDateShouldBeLessThanMaxDate);
    }

    if ((Value != null) && (MinDate > Value || Value > MaxDate))
    {
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(TextResource.DateOutOfRange);
    }
}

 The method is placed in the DatePicker.cs file in the Telerik.Web.MVC project.
