This isn't an actual problem, but more of a curiosity. Why does something called the RadMonthYearPicker still render a full date and time? I thought that's what the RadDatePicker was for? It should just give me the Month and Year and no date...which is what it's name would lead you to believe is all that would be involved. I'm not choosing June 1st 2022. I'm choosing June 2022. I understand that I can format the selected date...that's not the point.
Things that make you go hummmmm.
I have no idea. I noticed it when I stopped my code and looked at the available properties to see where I was going to pull my values from. I happen to notice that when I chose June 2022 the SelectedDate was actually...#6/1/2022 12:00:00 AM#.
Here's an analogy that I think would apply to this situation. It's like a strainer and a bowl. If I use a strainer I'm not expecting to get the liquid just the pasta. If I wanted liquid I would just put my pasta in a bowl...no need for the strainer.
I can get just the month or just the year. It's just extra code. It's not what I was expecting to have to do. No big deal...like I said things that make you go hummmmmm.
I do see that the client-side get_selectedDate() method return the time too but it is 00:00:00 as shown in the example below
While the server SelectedDate property returns only the Date (Month and Day):
<telerik:RadMonthYearPicker ID="RadMonthYearPicker1" runat="server" SelectedDate="2016/5/5 12:00"> <DateInput runat="server" ></DateInput> </telerik:RadMonthYearPicker> <asp:Button Text="Get Date" OnClick="Unnamed_Click" runat="server" /> <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="DateValue"/>protected void Unnamed_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DateValue.Text = RadMonthYearPicker1.SelectedDate; }Can you share the declaration of the control on your side? It could be something date input formatting or even Culture related - see https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/monthyearpicker/functionality/formatting-values?
Sure. This is my html. Very simple.
<telerik:RadMonthYearPicker ID="dpSrc" runat="server"> <DateInput runat="server" Label="Anchor to Copy" Width="100%" DisplayDateFormat="yyyy/MM" /> </telerik:RadMonthYearPicker>This is what it produces:
I got it! I examined the source code and noticed that the object type of the SelectedDate property is DateTime so you are getting an expected result since DateTime object in C# always has the time, just set to the beginning of the day:
