Hi Muhammad,

Try the following code to compare dates in GridDateTimeColumn.

C#:

protected void Rdagrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
 {
   if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
     {
       GridEditableItem eitem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
       RadDatePicker RadDatePicker1 = (RadDatePicker)eitem["UniqueName1"].Controls[0];
       RadDatePicker RadDatePicker2 = (RadDatePicker)eitem["UniqueName2"].Controls[0];
       CompareValidator compareValidator = new CompareValidator();
       compareValidator.ID = "compareValidator";
       compareValidator.ControlToValidate = RadDatePicker1.ID;
       compareValidator.ControlToCompare = RadDatePicker2.ID;
       compareValidator.Operator = ValidationCompareOperator.GreaterThanEqual;
       compareValidator.Type = ValidationDataType.Date;
       compareValidator.ErrorMessage = "*";
       eitem["UniqueName1"].Controls.Add(compareValidator);
     }
 }

Hope this helps.

Hi
I am using 2 telerik:GridDateTimeColumn. startdatum and sludatum
I have convert the C# code using converter.telerik.com to VB, but the validate not works....
Nothing happens.

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
    Dim eitem As GridEditableItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
    Dim RadDatePicker1 As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(eitem("startdatum").Controls(0), RadDatePicker)
    Dim RadDatePicker2 As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(eitem("slutdatum").Controls(0), RadDatePicker)
    Dim compareValidator As New CompareValidator()

    compareValidator.ID = "compareValidator"
    compareValidator.ControlToValidate = RadDatePicker1.ID
    compareValidator.ControlToCompare = RadDatePicker2.ID
    compareValidator.[Operator] = ValidationCompareOperator.GreaterThanEqual
    compareValidator.Type = ValidationDataType.[Date]
    compareValidator.ErrorMessage = "*"

    eitem("startdatum").Controls.Add(compareValidator)
End If

Hi ,

Please try the following code snippet to Compare two GridDateTimeColumn.

VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
        Dim item As GridEditableItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
        Dim start As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(item("ColumnUniqueName1").Controls(0), RadDatePicker)
        Dim [end] As RadDatePicker = DirectCast(item("ColumnUniqueName2").Controls(0), RadDatePicker)
        Dim cell As TableCell = DirectCast(start.Parent, TableCell)
        Dim val As New CompareValidator()
        val.ControlToCompare = start.ID
        val.ControlToValidate = [end].ID
        val.[Operator] = ValidationCompareOperator.GreaterThanEqual
        val.ErrorMessage = "Error message"
        val.ForeColor = Color.Red
        cell.Controls.Add(val)
    End If
End Sub
