FatalException Error - Wingrid DropDownCalendar
posted

Good day.

I have a grid that is bound to an ultraDataSource.  The ultraDataSource has a string field for a date (short date).  the wingrid's column style is set to DropDownCalendar. 

when i have a new row within the grid, I receive a FatalException Error:  "Internal error:  can't get masked editor value.  Inner exception is:  Input does not match the mask."  When i select the date, the value being put into the grid is, "//." (without the period)

I tried a couple of different mask options but that didn't fix it.  If I edit a row that already has a date, it works fine - it only fails on a new row.

EDIT:  the grid's version is 7.3.20073.1041

Please help.

 

thanks.

    Hi,

          Why store a date as a string? This will cause you all sorts of problems. You can't apply a Format to a string, it won't sort properly, adnd filtering will behave oddly from the user's perspective.

        I recommend using a DateTime data type for the column instead of string.
