Replacing '01 -01-0001 'with an empty string based on DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit control

In order not to change, datalayer returns DateTime.Mindatewhen the record column is NULL. Therefore, when you put a value nullin a column of a record and you read it again, you get 01-01-0001.

When binding this value to a value, DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit controlthis value (01-01-0001) is displayed in the control.

Now we want to show that the control is empty (without content), but I do not know how to do this.

I found out that you can set a custom display text for the control if the object attribute is NULL, but this does not work, because the value is 01-01-0001not null either.

In short: if it is a date with a value 01-01-0001, do not show anything in the control, otherwise specify a date.

Any ideas?

You can use DateEditinsteadTextEdit

Set the property NullDateto1-1-0001

Disable the drop-down button in the "Buttons" settings if you do not require it. It will look the same as TextEdit.

You can handle the event FormatEditValueto format the date the way you want.

In the other direction, you are using an event ParseEditValueto analyze user input.
