Hi.
After a date is picked I want to delete it and set the value to null on the data bound item.
The NullableValue is set to null/Nothing:
Me.DateRadDateTimePicker.NullableValue = NothingThe Value property is bound to an entity's nullable date field:
Me.DateRadDateTimePicker.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", Me.binder, "Date", True))If I select the date text and delete it, the entity still has a 01/01/0001 date value. However, the null text correctly displays in the picker.
I've even tried to manually set the null date (in three different ways!) based on the empty text but to no avail:
Dim dtp As RadDateTimePicker = ctrl
If dtp.Text = "" Then
dtp.NullableValue = Nothing
dtp.DateTimePickerElement.SetToNullValue()
dtp.Value = Nothing
End If
What am I missing?

Hello, Jure,
The provided code snippet demonstrating the DataBindings that you add is greatly appreciated. I have noticed that you bound the Value property. This is why you are seeing the 01/01/0001 date when deleting the value from the datetimepicker.
Note, NullableValue is the same as the Value property, but the NullableValue property is of type Nullable DateTime and can be null. More information and example is demonstrated here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/editors/datetimepicker/raddatetimepicker-properties
In your case, you should bind the NullableValue property in order to update correctly the data object. Please refer to the following code snippet:
Public Partial Class RadForm1
Inherits Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
Private obj As MyObject = New MyObject(Nothing)
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
Me.radDateTimePicker1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("NullableValue", obj, "EndTime", True, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged))
End Sub
Private Sub radButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim objValue = obj.EndTime
End Sub
End Class
Public Class MyObject
Public Sub New(ByVal _endTime As DateTime?)
Me._endTime = _endTime
End Sub
Private _endTime As DateTime?
Public Property EndTime As DateTime?
Get
Return _endTime
End Get
Set(ByVal value As DateTime?)
_endTime = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
I hope this information helps. In case you have other questions do not hesitate to contact me.
