Problem with null when using RadDatePicker

[Andy Green]

Sorry for double posting, I originally put this on the RadCalendar area, but not recieved any reply.

This is my aspx code for a RadDatePicker used in an Edit template on a RadGrid.

The problem is when I try to add new record the selected date doesn't exist and I get a cast error, I've tried an iif and isdbnull. but cant get it to work, can anyone help.

                                <div>

                                    <label class="gridlabel">Review Date:</label>

                                    <telerik:RadDatePicker  ID="txtReviewDate" runat="server" MinDate="2000-01-01" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" Skin="Expert" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="False"  Width="100px" SelectedDate='<%# Eval("ReviewDate") %>' >

                                    <DateInput EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" LabelCssClass="radLabelCss_Expert" Skin="Expert" DateFormat="dd/MMM/yyyy"></DateInput>

                                    <Calendar EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" Skin="Expert" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x" FastNavigationNextImage="~/App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/fastNavRight.gif" FastNavigationPrevImage="~/App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/fastNavLeft.gif" NavigationNextImage="~/App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/arrowRight.gif" NavigationPrevImage="~/App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/arrowLeft.gif"></Calendar>

                                    <DatePopupButton CssClass="radPopupImage_Expert" HoverImageUrl="../App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/datePickerPopupHover.gif" ImageUrl="../App_Themes/Expert/Calendar/datePickerPopup.gif"/>

                                    </telerik:RadDatePicker>

                                </div>

Thanks

Andy

Hello Andy,

Please try DbSelectedDate instead.
