SfDatePicker and null date

[Mark Riley]

Hi,

I have an SfDatePicker which is bound (two-way) to a 'DateTime?' variable which is set to 'null'.

In version 11.0.21 this worked fine and the field displayed as a blank date, but since upgrading to 11.0.25 it has stopped working and crashes with a NullReference exception in the FormatValue method. Has something changed here?

Hi Mark,

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

 

We are able to reproduce the reported crash issue in DatePicker and we will resolve this issue in our upcoming service pack release.

 

Please let us know if you have any queries.

Need to stable your application across time , then using third party components like syncfusion is not a good choice, not good for a quick works. Here all will work at some times but not all times my bitter worst experience.

Hi,

 

I am facing the exact same problem. Earlier, the following code used to work just fine. Now, it doesn't. I get error in XAML as well (in the Value property)

 

My code:

<syncfusion:SfDatePicker Grid.Row="3"
    Value="{Binding DueAt, Mode=TwoWay}"
    Style="{StaticResource SFDatePickerStyle}"
    AccentBrush="{StaticResource AccentBrush}">
<syncfusion:SfDatePicker.SelectorStyle>
    <Style TargetType="syncfusion:SfDateSelector">
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource AccentBrush}" />
    </Style>
</syncfusion:SfDatePicker.SelectorStyle>
</syncfusion:SfDatePicker>

 

And the ViewModel:

private DateTime? dueAt;
public DateTime? DueAt
{
    get
    {
           return dueAt;
    }
    set
    {
           Set("DueAt", ref dueAt, value);
    }
}

When is the service pack expected. I have an app to release soon. Also hoping that it will not break other functionality like sfTextBox, Validation and DocIO, which I am using in my app.

They wrote one week to me today in an incident report. So hopefully :)

Thanks.

 

However, in the meanwhile, can I get one release prior to the current one. I was using that earlier, and the app was working fine with it. I think I will need to release my app in next 2-3 days. I cannot find link to the prior version on your website.

Hi Naweed,

 

You can download our previous version 11.1.0.21 from the below link,
