Set value of new row column

[Ramsha]

Hi, I want to set DateTime value for my radGridview's DataColumn. I tried doing it in the AddingNewDataItem event of the Grid but getting error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DateTime' to 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewDataColumn

This is the AddingNewDataItem event handler:

private void grdProductGrid_AddingNewDataItem_1(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
 {
            e.NewObject =new Product();
            Date = System.DateTime.Today;
 }

Date is the name of my column.

Hi Ramsha,

You need to set the Date with the initialization of the new object. So if your product has the following properties - string Name, DateTime Date, int ID - you can use the following approach:

private void grdProductGrid_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
        {
            e.NewObject = new Product () { Name = "SomeName", Date= new DateTime(1990, 01, 31), ID = 55};
        }

I have also added a sample project that implements the desired behavior. Please, review it and update me if it was useful. Of course, if you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
