Set Value for DateTime Column

[Loretta Stokes]

I am having two issues with setting the value for a column that is a date time ( in xaml it is GridViewDataColumn bound to a DateTime field).

1. I have an option for the user to add a new row. I call BeginInsert() on the grid. When the row is added I want to set a specific default date instead of 0001/1/1. I tried adding code to do this in the BeginningEdit event. It looked good but when you select the cell it goes back to the bad date. I am not sure what I am missing here. 

2. If I try to enter the time by typing it for the same date time column it is ignored. I can type it but when I hit enter it goes back to 12:00 AM. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Loretta Stokes,

Straight onto your questions:

1. "BeginningEdit" event should be used if you want to cancel editing process. You can use "AddingNewDataItem" event - within the handler you can set e.NewObject to an instance of your business object (with correct date).

2. Default editor for this configuration is RadDatePicker not RadTimePicker. However you can take a look at the attached example which demonstrates how to create custom column that covers your requirements.

Let me know if there is something unclear.
