[Solved] RadDateInput problems

[Bob]

My first attempt at using this control.  I am using the RadDateInput on a user control where the date can be changed.  When the user control first loads, I want the RadDateInput to display the date from the database.  If I make this an asp:textbox, it works fine.  But If I make it a radDateInput control, the value is blank.  Here is my code:

<

telerik:RadDateInput ID="diPolicyAccountValue"

runat="server"

DateFormat="d"

SelectedDate='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.PolicyAccountValueDate") %>'>

</telerik:RadDateInput>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob,

In this scenario you should use the DbSelectedDate property of the control as opposed to the SelectedDate property.
I hope this suggestion helps.

Maria,

That did not work.  Here is my code:

<telerik:RadDateInput ID="diPolicyAccountValue"

runat="server"

DateFormat="d"

DbSelectedDate ='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.PolicyAccountValueDate") %>'>

</telerik:RadDateInput>

The date does not appear when I call the user control.  But if I put the same date in a asp:textbox, it does appear.

<asp:TextBox ID="tbPolicyAccountValueDate"

runat="server"

TabIndex="1"

Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval( Container, "DataItem.PolicyAccountValueDate") %>'>

</asp:TextBox>

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bob

I figured it out.  It had to do with the AjaxManager.  When I removed this, it worked.

Another problem:

I'd like to have my date display like 3/31/2008 in my

RadDateInput

control.  How can I do this?

Thanks Bob

Hi Bob,

In order to acheive this, you should set the DateFormat property of the RadDateInput to M/d/yyyy;

Let us know if further help is needed.
