To clear the datetimepicker set the SelectedDate property to null.

Hi Siva,

You could use the clear() method in order to clear the SelectedDate. See the example shown below.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateWithDtEntryDate(sender,e)
{
    var datePicker2 = $find("<%= datepicker1.ClientID %>");
    // Do Validation
    if(validationResult) // Chck with Condition
    {
         datePicker2.clear();  // Clear the SelectedDate of RadDatePicker1
    }
}



</script>

HI,
Thanks for your response.
I used clear() to clear the date but i am getting error like   'null' is null or not an object.I am using this functionality in user control.
So instead of clear() in calendar i am clearing textbox value in raddatepicker.But the problem is my validation(firstdate==second date) is working in first case  as per validation and i am able to show alert. If i press  ok of that showed alert and again i select same date my validation function ValidateWithDtEntryDate() is not firing to show validation alert instead it displaying selected date in textbox of datetimepicker.

Please give me a solution for this.

Thanks,
Siva

Hi Pree,

I am afraid we are not able to replicate the issue locally. Could you reproduce this behavior with any of our demos?
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/calendar/examples/datepicker/custompopup/defaultcs.aspx

Please provide us the exact steps to reproduce the issue or open a support ticket to send us a sample runnable application demonstrating the erratic behavior. Thus, we will be able to further analyze the problem and provide a proper solution.

Hi
I"ll tell you the steps:

<div class="sxlb">
                               <asp:Label ID="lblLastBackgroundCheckedDate" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="dpLastBackgroundCheckedDate"
                                   Text="Last Background Checked Date"></asp:Label></div>
                           <div class="sxlm">
                               <lpsfs:SysXDatePicker runat="server" ID="dpLastBackgroundCheckedDate" DateInput-ReadOnly="true"
                                   DateInput-DateFormat="MM-dd-yyyy" Width="99%">
                                   <ClientEvents OnPopupClosing="FocusOnPopUpButton" />
                                   <Calendar ID="calLastBackgroundCheckedDat" runat="server" EnableKeyboardNavigation="true"
                                       CausesValidation="false">
                                   </Calendar>
                               </lpsfs:SysXDatePicker>
                               <div class="vldx">
                                   <asp:CompareValidator ID="cmpLastBackgroundCheckedDate" ControlToValidate="dpLastBackgroundCheckedDate"
                                       class="errmsg" ValidationGroup="grpSupplierInformation" Operator="LessThanEqual"
                                       Display="Dynamic" ValueToCompare='<%# DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() %>'
                                       Type="Date" runat="server" ErrorMessage='<%#SysXUtils.GetMessage(ResourceConst.SUPPLIER_INFORMATION_LAST_BACKGROUND_CHECKED_DATE) %>'></asp:CompareValidator>
                               </div>
                           </div>

Now,if the user once entered the date and then tries to delete it,it is not working.I also tried to do this:

DateInput-ReadOnly="false"
EnableKeyboardNavigation="false"

but if i do this then,if the user enters alphabet or Chars like -,/ it is giving error.
I want that user cannot enter the date on its own,he has to pick it from the calender.
any help would be deeply regarded.

hi Ty
if i set the selecteddate property to null i"m getting the following exception:
Cannot create an object of type 'System.DateTime' from its string representation 'null' for the 'SelectedDate' property.

Hi Pree,

Please note that custom created controls are not supported even when they are inherited directly from RadControls.

Try using a default RadDatePicker declaration and see whether the issue still remains.

All the best,
