NullReferenceException in DateTimePickerAdv.Value

[Administrator]

When I try to set the Value of a date time picker, I get a null pointer exception. The code couldn''t be any simpler:

this.dateTimePicker.Value = new System.DateTime(2005, 6, 8, 16, 3, 0, 880);

Here''s the stack trace:

System.NullReferenceException occurred
Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Source="Syncfusion.Tools.Windows"
StackTrace:
at Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DateTimePickerAdv.set_Value(DateTime value)
at (mycode).InitializeComponent() in (mysource).cs:line 639

We just upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 and the latest Syncfusion distribution. This worked fine in Visual Studio 2003 with an older version of Syncfusion. It also works fine in a simple test app, but not in our full application.

Any ideas?

Hi Hurley,

This was an issue with DateTimePickerAdv in our Beta versions and we had put a fix for this in final release which worked fine so far.I am looking into this and let you know regarding this.

Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,

Anu.

If I comment out this line:

dateDateTimePicker.UseCurrentCulture = true;

it will run without throwing an exception but the display is blank. Adding this line:

dateDateTimePicker.CustomFormat = "dd MMM yyyy";

brings back the text.

It was trail and error on each line to figure that out.

Previous environment: Visual Studio 2003, Syncfusion 3.0.1.0

New environment: Visual Studio 2005, Syncfusion 4.1.0.50
