RadGrid GridDateTimeColumnEditor is unable to process data of type TimeSpan if PickerType is set to TimePicker. As a workaround, a GridTemplateColumn can be used with a TimePicker inside EditTemplate <telerik:GridTemplateColumn> <ItemTemplate> <%# Eval("Field") %> </ItemTemplate> <EditItemTemplate> <telerik:RadTimePicker ID="RadTimePicker1" runat="server" SelectedTime='<%# Bind("Field") %>'></telerik:RadTimePicker> </EditItemTemplate> </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
