Hello,

      My web application has user control which uses third party controls called Devexpress controls. The user control is a menu  and is part of the Master page. It is placed there because this needs to be available in all the pages. My user controls raises a even on item clicked. Now, My question is that Is there any way to know that the event has occurred in page_load of the current page in which I am in?

I have a linq to sql entity class in which I declared some DateTime fileds like this:

[Column(DbType = "smalldatetime")]
public DateTime? StartDate { get; set; }

And this is how I fetch data form repository:

return repository.Logs.OrderByDescending(l => l.LogID).FirstOrDefault();

All non DateTime fields are filled properly but all datetimes are null.

Hello,

How do you write a date value to an XMLElement in .NET 3.5 XMLDocument object. 

 I am using the following:

DateTime orderDate = new DateTime();
orderDate = DateTime.Now; // 2010-08-24 16:45:46

string st = XmlConvert.ToString(orderDate, "yyyy-MM-dd");     // st="2010-08-24"
DateTime dt2 = XmlConvert.ToDateTime (st, "yyyy-MM-dd");   // dt2 = "2010-08-24 00:00:00"

I would like to remove the time section "00:00:00". I only need to write a date in the XML file with the following format :

<OrderDate>2010-08-24</OrderDate>

Order date is defined like this in the xsd file : <xs:element name="OrderDate" type="xs:date"/>

Thanks for your support.

Hi,

when i do something like this:

var time = DateTime.Parse("2010-01-03T17:08:33+01:00");

i get an object  of kind 'local' with the time set to 17:08:33, the extra hour is lost. Why does this happen and how can i fix it?

Actually the string representation of the time is received from a java web service and there is no way of changing the implementation of the service.

Thanks,

Hey everyone,

I have a dynamic data site that stores Event data using LINQ-to-SQL. When someone requests an event, it is first stored as a PendingEvent (which is a child of Event) with a column/attribute called receivedAt, which is [ReadOnly(true)] and which is assigned in InsertEvent as shown.

        partial void InsertEvent(Event instance)
        {
            instance.requestedAt = DateTime.Now;

            SendEmail(instance);

            instance.AddEventToCalendar();

            this.ExecuteDynamicInsert(instance);
        }

This works fine. The event displays with the correct receivedAt date, and it's correct in my database. It shows up just fine on my Display, Edit, and List pages. However, if I try to delete, the receivedAt in the instance (retrieved with my debugger) in my delete function is 01/01/0001 12:00am, also known as DateTime.MinValue. My other dates appear correct.

If I remove "ReadOnly(true)" from the received at, everything works fine. Why won't "ReadOnly" allow me to have a time?
Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Addendum:

I forgot to mention why I care. I can't submit the instance to be deleted because DateTime.MinValue is outside SQL's available datetime, so I get a SQL error. The delete also takes place in a custom dele
