RadDatePicker and RadTimePicker to use same date

[Stephen]

Hello,

I have a RadDatePicker and two RadTimePickers on a page.  Is there any built-in way to link the selected date of the RadTimePickers to the selected date of the RadDatePicker so when they go to chose the time from the RadTimePicker it doens't change the date back to today's date?

I know that I can get the selected date from the RadDatePicker on autopostback and then set the selected date on the RadTimePickers to that date.  But then when you chose the time from the RadTimePicker it sets the date back to today's date.

Thanks.

Why don't you just use two RadDateTimePicker controls. That way it will retain the selected date. Or when you save you could create new datetime objects with the selected date like so:

DateTime selectedDate = RadDatePicker.SelectedDate.Value;

DateTime selectDateTime1 = new DateTime(selectedDate.Year, selectedDate.Month, selectedDate.Day,  RadTimePicker1.SelectedDate.Value.Hour, RadTimePicker1.SelectedDate.Value.Minute,0);

// perform code to save selected date and times

I hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply.

I need to only have one date appear so the first option is out.  The second method is what I am doing, just maipulating the info before I save.  I just thought there might be a way to automatically hook the date of the timepicker to the date of a datepicker, maybe through a property.

Hello Stephen,

There is no built-in functionality to link the dates in such manner. Unfortunately, Robert's suggestion is the only feasible option I can think of for this scenario.

Let me know if you need more information.
