Set to null?

[Jonathan Miller]

How can I set the display date to null?  I need an empty box if no date is selected. Thanks

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your question.

If you need an empty text box in the DatePicker you can use the SelectedDate property which is of nullable DateTime (DateTime?) type. That said you can always set it to null:

RadDatePicker2.SelectedDate = null;

Is this what you need? Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi,

I am facing the similar problem.
I need to set the DatePicker value to empty.
If I set the SelectedValue Property to "null", then it is displaying the "Enter Date" default text in the DatePicker. But I need to show the complete empty box (without any default text in it).
Please help me.

Thanks,
Siva

Hi SivaPrasad Bevara,

You need to set DateTimeWatermarkContent property to empty string:
 

<telerik:RadDatePicker  Height="30" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" DateTimeWatermarkContent=""/>

With this property you can also customize the empty message to something different than "Select date".
