Jon,
Thanks for the reply, but either I didn't make myself clear or you
misread the question ;-)
I have the property set/get code working fine, my problem is how to use
this in the calling page. I would like to be able to do something like
...
<MyControls:DateTimePicker ID="dtpDTP" DateTimeDT="<%=DateTime.Now()%>"
Runat="Server" />
but this gives the error "<%=DateTime.Now()%> is not a valid value for
DateTime". I tried adding ToString() on to that as well, but that gave
the same error.
Your code did the same. I think the problem is in the way I'm passing
the value to the control. I can set the property fine in code ...
dtpDTP.DateTimeDT = dateTime.Now;
I just can't set it in the tag.
Any ideas? Thanks again.
