RadDatePicker can't set date under 01/01/1820

[Desarrollo]

Hi, 

I need some help with a radDatePicker, I can´t set min date to 01/01/1800. I've tried with these properties but nothing I get the error :"No se puede crear un objeto de tipo 'System.DateTime' a partir de su representación de cadena '01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m.' para la propiedad 'MinDate'."

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dtpDesde" runat="server" SkipMinMaxDateValidationOnServer="True" MinDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m." Calendar-FocusedDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m." Calendar-RangeMinDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m." Calendar-RangeSelectionStartDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m." DateInput-MinDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m." FocusedDate="01/01/1800 12:00:00 a.m.">

If I only try with the property  "SkipMinMaxDateValidationOnServer="True"" , the control validation in the browser show me an error and  the control clear the date.

Could you please advise me  right way to allow dates under the default min value.

Thanks..

Hi Desarrollo,

The that that you use should be valid string representation to be parsed using DateTime.Parse:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1k1skd40.aspx
This markup will work for you:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dtpDesde"
    runat="server"
    SkipMinMaxDateValidationOnServer="false"
    MinDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00"
    Calendar-RangeMinDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00"
    Calendar-RangeSelectionStartDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00"
    Calendar-FocusedDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00"
    DateInput-MinDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00"
    FocusedDate="01/01/1800 00:00:00">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Hi Imran,

The 0/0/0 is not valid year. The years stars from 1, and the months are also from 1 to 12, same as days.
The minimum you can set is 1/1/1, but in case you place it in the markup it will use the ShortYearCenturyEnd is by default 2029 you will end up with 2001/1/1

So you need to set it in the code-behind, here is an example:

<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="RadDatePicker1">
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadDatePicker1.MinDate = new DateTime(1,1,1);
    RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate = new DateTime(1,1,1);
}
