example.

<telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="ApplicationDate" DataType="System.DateTime"
HeaderText="ApplicationDate" SortExpression="ApplicationDate"
SelectedDate='<%# Bind( "ApplicationDate" ) %>' UniqueName="ApplicationDate" />

now '<%# Bind( "ApplicationDate" ) %>' also contains null value if there is any date in database then there is no problem but if there is null value then it shows error : Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException:

Hi Siingh,

Try removing: SelectedDate='<%# Bind( "ApplicationDate" ) %>' from the mark-up for the column.

Than how do i bind control?

I need to bind control so i can use inbult editting and adding new rows to datagrid.

if i remove that tag then adding new row will not save any value into ApplicationDate column

Kind Regards:

Hi Siingh,

Setting the DataField property of the column is enough to take care of the binding. You should set a Binding expression only if you are using a template column and defining manually the date-time controls. In that case, a binding expression is valid and obligatory, but not when using a GridDataTimeColumn type.

All the best,
