Setting time of RadDateTimePicker

[Karl Wilkens]

Hi, we are scratching our heads on how to set the time. The value in the database (StartTime) is

2011-07-22 07:00:00.000

and our dateTimePicker looks like this

 <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker3" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)" DbSelectedDate='<%# Bind("StartTime") %>'  >
                                 <DateInput ID="DateInput3" runat="server" />
                                 </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>


But it always displays 12:00 AM in the time picker. I looked all over the support forums and there are many many examples for the timepicker itself, but nothing all that clear on raddateTimePicker. If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Karl,

When embedding RadDatePicker,RadTimePicker,RadDateTimePicke and RadMonthYearPicker controls inside a data-bound control, use a data-binding expression to bind the value of the input control to the data source of the parent control.
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid  ID="RadGrid1" runat="server">
. . . .
   <EditItemTemplate>
      <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker3" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)"   SelectedDate='<%# Bind("StartTime") %>'>
         <DateInput ID="DateInput3" runat="server" />
      </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>
   </EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadGrid>

For further information you can check the following demo.
Calendar / Data Binding.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi, I tried this exact thing and it does not work.

                                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="StartTime" HeaderText="Starts" UniqueName="TemplateColumn2">

                                   <EditItemTemplate>

                                    <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker3" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)" SelectedDate='<%# Bind("StartTime") %>'  >

                                 <DateInput ID="DateInput3" runat="server" />

                                 </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>  </EditItemTemplate>

                                 <ItemTemplate><asp:Label ID="lblSessionStart" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("StartTime") %>' /></ItemTemplate>

                                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I also verified that the time is in fact valid within RadGrid ItemCreated as follows

             Dim StartDate As RadDateTimePicker = CType(e.Item.FindControl("RadDateTimePicker1"), RadDateTimePicker)

                If StartDate IsNot Nothing Then

                    StartDate.SelectedDate = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.DataItem, "StartTime")

                End If

In the above code, debugging reveals the selectedDate to have a time of 7:00:00 AM, but once the grid renders the time is 12:00:00 AM

Thanks!

Hello Karl,

In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that you use the ItemDataBound event.
You can examine the Distinguishing the major differences between ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events help topic for additional information.

I hope this helps.
