RadDatePicker not always seeing manaully entered dates

[Eric Klein]

I am having an issue on multiple pages with the RadDatePicker.  If the user uses the Calendar and selects a date there is no issue, but about 35% of the time if the user manually enters the date byt typing it in it does not recognize the date as the selected date.  I am using version 2009.3.1314.35.

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dpMeetingDate" runat="server" MinDate="2009-01-01" Width="150px" ImagesPath="" Skin="Vista" Enabled="false">
        <Calendar UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x" Skin="Vista"  />
        <DatePopupButton ImageUrl="" HoverImageUrl="" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

when I try to save or sometimes try to filter by looking at the date entered if the user has manually entered it I get the error that no date was selected.

if (dpMeetingDate.SelectedDate == null)
{
  lblError.Text += "<br>  - Select a meeting date";
  canSave = false;
}

Hello Eric Klein,

I have tried to reproduce the same issue but no avail. I am using version 2011, 2, 712, 35. 

C#:

protected void RadDatePicker1_SelectedDateChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDateChangedEventArgs e)
{
 if (RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate == null)
 {
   //your code.
 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
