Optional DatePicker and Money Controls 
1) How do you allow a DatePicker control to accept NULL or blank dates? This would be for optional date fields that are not required.

2) What do you use for money fields.? That is fields that accept money 9999.99.

Hi Steve,

For a NullableDateTimePicker read this article.
And i think the best way to create the money control is this article.

Hope this helps,
Eyal Albert

Re: Optional DatePicker and Money Controls 
Thanks for the information.

The NullableDateTimePicker is an interesting implementation of this feature. It seems to me to be overly complicated to achieve what I want. All I want is to allow the user to enter nothing or display a database date field that is blank. The checkbox is a little distracting to me, but the project would help to implement a homegrown solution. I was more wondering if there were any built-in options.

The Validator solution while very interesting doesn't really address my direct needs in terms of a maskable money control. Again I was hoping for a built-in solution.

Does anyone have any other input?

Re: Optional DatePicker and Money Controls 
If you want a mask edit box we have a control like that.
I thought that you all ready looked at it.
I think that for money it  is not that good.
You can try and use the error provider and text box but that's also not what you want.

Re: Optional DatePicker and Money Controls 
I'm aware of the mask edit control and I use it. I was really looking for a money control.

Checkout WebCurrencyEdit from www.infragistics.com.

They also have a very usable WebDateTimeEdit control.

Just looking for some user friendly built-in solutions or other options. Thanks for your help.
