dataview rowfilter by date
Hi,
I have a dataview with a DATE column which is in Date format (not string)
I have a datetimepicker.
The user selects a date from the datetimepicker.
I want to rowfilter the dataview, so that all rows which have a Date, later than
the selected datetimepicker date, are displayed.
something like:
myDate = DateTimePicker1.Value.Date
myView.RowFilter = ("Date <= myDate ")
The above does not work. I have tried various combinations of the above but no joy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is the exception
System.InvalidCastExceptio
Message="Conversion from string "02/16/2010" to type 'Date' is not valid."

The dataview Date column format is yyyy-mm-dd
So, I try to change the datetimepicker format to match the dataview
myDate = DateTimePicker1.Value.Date
myDate = myDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-d
When I run this code, myDate = #2/2/2010#
I was hoping for 2010-02-02
However, I could be wrong, but I don't think it would work anyway. because I am now trying to
use a string to rowfilter a Date column.

The Dataview is taken from a XML table. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD
The datetimepicker has a format of MM/DD/YYYY
This is causing problems with the filter.
Is there a way to change one of the formats, so that they match?
