I've got 2 controls on a page, one for a request date and another for the date of birth of a client. Both of these values come from a SQL Server database. During the Page_Loaded event I had been trying to calculate the age of the client on the request date, however that's not working. For some reason, which I don't understand, the date of birth of the client is wrong (it turns out to be today's date), during the Page_Loaded event. However, once the page is actually displayed, it is correct. I had thought Page_Loaded would have been the correct event to put this code, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
So, where should I put the age calculation code? In what event?
The XAML for the first control is:
and the XAML for the second control is here:

The XAML for the first control is:
<telerik:RadMaskedDateTimeInput Name="radReqDate" MinWidth="80" TabIndex="0" FontWeight="Bold" Value="{Binding RequestDate}" InputBehavior="Replace" TextMode="PlainText" SelectionOnFocus="SelectAll" ValueChanged="radReqDate_ValueChanged" />and the XAML for the second control is here:
<telerik:RadMaskedDateTimeInput Name="radDOB" EmptyContent="Enter DOB" MinWidth="80" TabIndex="14" FontWeight="Bold" InputBehavior="Replace" TextMode="PlainText" Value="{Binding Path=DateOfBirth, Mode=TwoWay}" ValueChanged="radDOB_ValueChanged" />4 Answers, 1 is accepted

Hi Rod,
From your description I gather that the RadMaskedDateTimeInput values are still not updated in the Loaded event handler of the page. However, as I am not sure how your layout is built, I am not sure what is causing the delay in the value update or if this is the cause for the issue.
This is why I prepared a sample solution to test your scenario and I wasn't able to reproduce the case. Can you please take a look at the project and let me know if I'm missing something? Also, you can use the data objects to calculate the age of the client - basically instead of using the Value property of the MaskedInput controls, you can calculate the age as this:
var age = radReqDate.Year - radDOB.Year;
All the best,

Hello Tina,
Thank you for your reply. I don't have the Telerik controls 2012.2.912.40. The last I had was 2011 Q2, I believe. (I can't open your project without errors.)

Hi Rod,
I tested my solution with the Q2 2011 assemblies and I am still not able to reproduce the issue. Also, on our side the project can be correctly downloaded and it runs without any issues and this is why I am not sure why you're experiencing issues with it.
Can you try the solution I attached to this post - it uses the Q2 2011 dlls and it still claculates the age correctly. Let me know if I'm missing something.

WOW, you're right. You're example worked fine. I'm floored; don't know why your's does and mine doesn't. (I'm getting an odd error in the VS 2010 designer when I open your project; something about not being able to load the file or assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Controls, Version=2011.2.712.40, but it didn't stop me from running it, and of course I can look through the XAML.)
