Convert date as Integer in Codebehind

Question

I've been searching around the net but I only see integer to date. How can I convert a chosen date in radDatePicker to integer? I have tried Convert.ToInt32 but I get an error at runtime

Answer 1

You can try this code

  DateTime dt =Convert.ToDateTime(RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate);
  string  temp = dt.ToShortDateString();

  int value;
  int.TryParse(temp, out value);

Answer 2

Try this:

DateTime.Now.Ticks

For normal datetime object it works. Means if you could get DateTime value from radDatePicker you may apply .Ticks property to it.
