Question on displaying data in the cell

Hi,

I have a cell that is suppose to display datetime. now it happens that sometimes that value is DateTime.MinValue. At the moment the grid displays it as 01/01/0001 but all i want is not to display it in this case. Is there a way to avoid displaying DateTime.MinValue? How can i set up my own converter if the binding is done automatically.

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi Stefan -

The XamDateTimeEditor (the default editor for fields of type DateTime) exposes two converter properties that will let you convert the value to text of your choosing. The ValueToDisplayTextConverter property lets you set a converter that is used when the XamDateTimeEditor is not in edit mode and the ValueToTextConverter property lets you set a converter that is used when the XamDateTimeEditor is in edit mode.

Hi I have similar issue. I tried to do something simple first like this:

                        <igDP:XamDataGrid x:Name="m_grdMain" ScrollingMode="Deferred">
                            <igDP:XamDataGrid.Resources>
                                <Style TargetType="{x:Type Editors:XamDateTimeEditor}">
                                    <Setter Property="Mask" Value="{}{date}"/>
                                </Style>
                            </igDP:XamDataGrid.Resources>
                        </igDP:XamDataGrid>

Shouldn't that work? My DateTime is still displayed with time on it. Any suggestion? Or do I really have to use ValueToTextConverter?
