RadGridView: GridViewDateTimeView should support DateOnly type
With releasing .NET 6, there are TimeOnly and DateOnly types which would be more appropriate for managing such values:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/date-time-and-time-zone-enhancements-in-net-6/
It would be good to add support for these types in GridViewDateTimeView.
Currently, the following code gives an exception when entering edit mode:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("DateOnly", typeof(DateOnly));
dt.Rows.Add(new DateOnly(2022,3,3));
this.radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
GridViewDateTimeColumn dateColumn = new GridViewDateTimeColumn();
dateColumn.FieldName = "DateOnly";
this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(dateColumn);
this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt;
this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
}
Workaround: you can use the following custom TypeConverter:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("DateOnly", typeof(DateOnly));
dt.Rows.Add(new DateOnly(2022,3,3));
this.radGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
GridViewDateTimeColumn dateColumn = new GridViewDateTimeColumn();
dateColumn.DataType = typeof(DateTime);
dateColumn.FieldName = "DateOnly";
dateColumn.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
dateColumn.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
dateColumn.FormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}";
dateColumn.DataTypeConverter = new DateOnlyConverter();
this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(dateColumn);
this.radGridView1.DataSource = dt;
this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
}
public class DateOnlyConverter : TypeConverter
{
public override bool CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type destinationType)
{
return destinationType == typeof(DateTime);
}
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
{
if (value is DateOnly && destinationType == typeof(DateTime))
{
DateOnly date = (DateOnly)value;
return new DateTime(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day);
}
return base.ConvertTo(context, culture, value, destinationType);
}
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType)
{
return sourceType == typeof(DateTime) ;
}
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value)
{
if (value is DateTime)
{
DateTime date = (DateTime)value;
return new DateOnly(date.Year, date.Month, date.Day);
}
return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);
}
}
