Update asp:DetailsView which uses RadDateTimePicker

[Reem Reem]

Hi,

I need your help, pleas.. I'm trying  to edit some fields in my detailsview and it works fine except the RadDateTimePicker.

I used it in the EditItemTemplate as below:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="IN">
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="RadDateTimePicker1" Runat="server"
                        AutoPostBackControl='<%# bind("CHECKIN") %>' Culture="English (United States)"
                        Enabled='<%# bind("CHECKIN") %>' SharedCalendar='<%# bind("CHECKIN") %>'
                        SharedTimeView='<%# bind("CHECKIN") %>' Visible='<%# bind("CHECKIN") %>' >

                    </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>
                </EditItemTemplate>

                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# eval("CHECKIN") %>' DataFormatString="{0:MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM}"
                    HtmlEncode="false">
                    </asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>

            </asp:TemplateField>

and i get this error:

System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from type 'Date' to type 'Integer' isnot valid.

i tried to solve this by many ways but all of them didn't work

I think the problem is in the data binding method but i couldn't find the correct format?

I appreciate your reply, Thanks

Hello Reem,

The RadDateTimePicker.Enabled and RadDateTimePicker.Visible properties are of Boolean type. So you could not set to them values which is of DateTime type. To avoid the error and bind the RadDateTimePicker to the database value I suggest you to use the following code snippet:

<EditItemTemplate>
  <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="picker1" runat="server" DbSelectedDate='<%# Bind("CHECKIN ") %>'>
  </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>
</EditItemTemplate>

Also you could check out the following online example which demonstrates binding the RadDateTimePicker control:

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
