I need a RadTextBox to bind an empty to dbnull (or null).
Is there any property available?

Thanks!

I guess me message wasn't clear enough:

if myRadTextBox contains no text ("") then save to database (bind) as DBNULL, instead of "".

Hello Jorge,

To avoid this behavior, you should set ConvertEmptyStringToNull to false.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description"
    ConvertEmptyStringToNull="false" UniqueName="Description">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Description") %>' />
    </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
