Question

I am using Telerik’s RadDatePicker control which i think is essentially a DateTime control and i would like to extract the selected date and string it to a variable. Would be great if someone could help me on this.

Answer 1

in C#:

DateTime? selectedDate = RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate;
//to string
string date="";
if(selectedDate!=null)
{
   date=selectedDate.Value.ToShortDateString();//or selectedDate.Value.ToString("d");
}
else
{
   //handle the case when user has not selected any date, and selectedDate is null
}

You can format the string representation following article in msdn.
