Hi ,
i have a grid in edit mode with bound columns. One of the column is of date type. To this i have set format string as MMM/yyyy , dat works fine, but in edit mode this format is not maintained. How to have same format in edit mode?

Hi Alyssa,

Please try the following code snippet to set the format during edit mode:

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
 {
   GridEditableItem edit = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
   TextBox textBox = (TextBox)edit["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
   textBox.Text = Convert.ToDateTime(textBox.Text).ToString("MMM/yyyy");
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu
