Hi,
I'm trying to use a DatePicker outside of the DataGrid control, but I'm having trouble updating the datasource (System.Data.DataSet) with the SelectedDate value.
The correct SelectedDate value is displayed in the DatePicker control when the Window is opened, but it seems as the Binding object for the DatePicker control is deleted upon selecting a date.

In advance, thanks!

There should be no issues using the DatePicker outside the grid. Do you have any binding errors in the output window? Would it be possible for you to post the code you are using?

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your reply.
After debugging the Binding, I found that setting Mode=TwoWay in the Binding markup extension solved the problem.

Could you post an example of DatePicker databinding, then ? I would like to see how you solved it. Thanks!

<DockPanel>
 <xcdg:DatePicker DateTimeMaskMode="ShortDate"
                  SelectedDate="{Binding ElementName=OrdersGrid, Path=CurrentItem[BirthDate], Mode=TwoWay}"
                  DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>

 <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                       ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}"/>
</DockPanel>

Where the grid is bound to a DataGridCollectionViewSource who is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database.

Thanks! That did the trick. If you're looking for something to add to the doc, that would make a nice example for the DatePicker.
