Hi Mac,

Are you trying to access a RadDateTimePicker in the ItemTemplate of GridTemplateColumn? Use the following approach.

ASPX:

  <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TempCol" >
                         <ItemTemplate>
                             <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker1" runat="server">
                             </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>
                         </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
     {
         if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
         {
             GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
             RadDateTimePicker DatePkr = (RadDateTimePicker)item["TempCol"].FindControl("RadDateTimePicker1");
          }

     }

Thanks

no that is not what I am trying to do.
dim DTP as telerickDateTimePicker = TryCast(Gridview1.controls(0).Controls(0).FindControl("TheDateTimePicker"), TelerickDateTimePicker ))

my issue is that I dont see how to declare the control correctly. ie. telerick.web. IM now lost.

Hi Mac,

Have you set the correct NameSpace?

VB:

Imports Telerik.Web.UI
