Set default value of RadDatePicker to NULL when date is not set

Question

I\'m binding the RadDatePicker to a viewModel dateTime property. when the property is null in database i get 01/01/0001. How to i change this behavior to just leave the date fie

Answer 1

Set the SelectedDate to null (and not DBNull):

RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate = null;

and in xaml set DateTimeWatermarkContent to the empty string:

<telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="RadDatePicker1" DateTimeWatermarkContent="" />
