No .SelectedDate when custom Id is set

[Markus]

Hello everybody!

I need to add a RadDateTimePicker programatically in my UserControl. Actually everything works fine, except when I set the Id of the raddatetimepickercontrol manually.
If I do so, .SelectedDate always returns the Date that was set intially.

example:

ctrl = new RadDateTimePicker();
ctrl.ID = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString();
ctrl.selectedDate = DateTime.Parse("01-01-2001");

Creating the control with this code always returns "01-01-2001" as .SelectedDate - allthough the date was changed (and the change is visible on the page).

However the following snippet:

ctrl = new RadDateTimePicker();
//ctrl.ID = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString();
ctrl.selectedDate = DateTime.Parse("01-01-2001");

acts how it is supposed to be.

Unfortunately I have to set an Id manually, b/c I also want to programatically add Asp RequiredFieldValidators!

Thx in advance for your help & kind regards!

Hello Markus,

The ID for an ASP.NET control should be the same across post-backs otherwise the control will unable to load needed state.
