RadDatePicker: Issue with SelectedDate in Calendar and DateInput

[Jens]

Hello,
i have a webform with 4 RadDatePickers. In one control i want to have two different dates.  In the dateInput-control is a date from a database and in the calender-control should be now.
The code look like this:

If IsNothing(Sfo.DatumletztPrüfung) = False AndAlso IsDate(Sfo.DatumletztPrüfung) = True Then
            RadDateLetztePrüfung.DateInput.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(Sfo.DatumletztPrüfung)
            RadDateLetztePrüfung.Calendar.SelectedDate = Now()
End If

But the controls are empty. Only when is set the date to the RadDatePicker-Control:

 RadDateLetztePrüfung.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(Sfo.DatumletztPrüfung)

The Date is shown.
What have i made wrong?

Kind regards
Jens

Hi Jens,

The RadDatePicker is a composite control combining a DateInput and a Calendar which makes selecting a date possible in both ways - by typing it and by picking a date in the Calendar. Yet, the RadDatePicker is designed to process a single date selection, and having different dates selected in the DataInput and in the Calendar is not possible.

Instead, you may consider using stand-alone RadDateInput and RadCalendar controls which can hold their own different dates.

I hope you will find this information helpful.

Please let me know if any questions come up.

Kind regards,
Doncho
