Filter Date Column as String

[Laurie]

I'm trying to use autopostbackonfilter to enable the users to enter a date or date fragment and have the filter return all records that contain that date fragment.  This is my code:

 

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="InvitedOn" HeaderText="First Invited On" UniqueName="InvitedOn" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

It works just fine when the user enters the date or date fragment, but if the user enters text that is not in date format, e.g. "ddd" or "9/15/20100," it returns all records.  I would expect it to return no records in these cases.  How can I get the expected behavior?

Thanks!

Hello Laurie,

To achieve your goal, please consider using built-in GridDateTimeColumn as shown in this online demo.
Dive this suggestion a try and let me know how it goes.

All the best,
