    Hello,
    I use a RadGrid with GridDateTileColumn. Sometime, I have DateTime.MinValue.
    I would like to display a Blank instead of 01/01/0001
    Is there a convenient way to do that ?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Bernard,

    You can use RadGrid's ItemDataBound event for that. Suppose your DateTime field is named "Date", then you would have:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            DateTime date = (DateTime)DataBinder.Eval(item.DataItem, "Date");
            if (date == DateTime.MinValue)
            {
                item["Date"].Text = "";
            }
        }
    }

    The above code will set an empty cell text for all rows that have a value of DateTime.MinValue for the Date field.

    Hello Mark,

    The code provided by my colleague is still valid. Could you please repost yours, as the markup does not seem to correspond to your grid declaration and also some unwanted formatting appears in your server code.

    All the best,
