2.0 Calendar Control - SelectedDate = NULL???

[K B]

Hi,

I have a calendar control inside an EditItemTemplate. All works great
except when the date field in the db is Null. I get the 'cannot cast
string to datetime type' error.

I haven't figured out which event on the DetailsView control, if any,
will allow me to check for Null, then perhaps do a calendar.clear.

Again, any help much appreciated.

Kit,

You should either set the date programatically first checking for Is NULL
(c#) Is Nothing (vb) and selecting a default date if so. Or disallow null
values in your database.
