Specifies the Date Edit’s prompt text when the editor’s value is null.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v20.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[Parameter]
public string NullText { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string value that specifies the prompt text.

Remarks

If the Date Edit component has the Nullable DateTime type, users can delete the editor value (set it to null).

You can also set the ClearButtonDisplayMode property to Auto to show the Clear button when the editor has a non-null value. Use the NullText property to specify the prompt text when the editor’s value is null.

<DxDateEdit @bind-Date="@DateTimeValue"
            ClearButtonDisplayMode="DataEditorClearButtonDisplayMode.Auto"            
            NullText="Select a date..." ></DxDateEdit>

@code {
    DateTime? DateTimeValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(2020, 01, 01);
}
