RadDateTimePicker to DateTime value in asp.net

[xeon]

Platform :: ASP.NET

Editor ::     VS 2013

I am trying to pass the value of RadDateTimePicker to a function as DateTime value in my code behind file. but it is showing error?

1. How to pass RadDateTimePicker as DateTime value?

2. how to validate the value of RadDateTimePicker is greater then the current system datetime value?

while trying to pass RadDateTimePicker as DateTime value,

//**************************************************

  <telerik:RadDateTimePicker runat="server" ID="regDate" >
           <Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" EnableKeyboardNavigation="true">
           </Calendar>
  </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

// code behind logic

DateTime getRegDate = regDate;

//**************************************************

shows error ::

can not implicitly convert type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadDateTimePicker' to 'System.Date.Time'

Hi Arnab,

In order to access the selected date from a RadDateTimePicker control you should use the SelectedDate property. Note that it returns a nullable type.

The following code snippet illustrates how you can get the selected date and time in the code-behind.

Markup:

<telerik:RadDateTimePicker runat="server" ID="RadDateTimePicer1"></telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="Get selected DateTime" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

Code-behind:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime? selectedDateTime = RadDateTimePicer1.SelectedDate;

}
