Thanks Georgi! Exactly what I'm looking for!

Hi,

The XamGrid exposes the DataObjectRequested event, which is raised when there's a necessity for a new object to be created (which is the case when you use the AddNewRow). This event is useful for cases when your underlying data objects do not have a default constructor (so the grid would not be able to create them on its own), or you want to set specific property values on these objects (as in your case - set the date to 'Today').

To eliminate the "Time" part in the Editor, you can use a TemplateColumn and set a StringFormat on the EditorTemplate.

Attached is a sample that demonstrates both approaches.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Petar! I'll just override the constructor.

Hello Marie,

I have been looking into your requirement, however I was not able to find another suggested approach for doing that. This is why I can suggest you learn how to override your constructor, or perhaps create a wrapper class in which you can do that. Besides from that I can create a Feature Request on your behalf so a more straight forward approach is provided by the XamGrid in one of our future releases.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Hello Petar,

Sorry for the late response.

I could not get your solution to work. My data is coming from entity framework 4 and not sure how I can have it default the date like you have.
