setting a time value programmatically in RadDateInput

[Eric]

I am trying to set a RadDateInput (time) value from a string but keep getting the error
"Text property cannot be set. String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

I use 

datValue.Text =

value

 

where datValue is my RadDateInput and value is a string containing "09:30"
datValue.DateFormat and DisplayFormat are "HH:mm"

I am missing something obvious?

Thanks

Eric

PS: I use 2009 Q1

Hi Eric,

Try the following code for setting the RadDateInput value from code behind.

CS:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string str = "09:30";
    datValue.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(str);
}

Thanks,
Princy.

It's one of those simple answer that you are so grateful for... apart that they make you feel stupid!

Many Thanks :-)
