    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.FilterCommandName)
        {
            try
            {
                FillItemsGrid();
                FilterByDate(ItemsRadGrid, e);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                //ExceptionLogClass.InsertError(ex);
            }

        }

    }

public static void FilterByDate(RadGrid grid, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        Pair filterPair = e.CommandArgument as Pair;
        string columnName = Convert.ToString(filterPair.Second);
        if (filterPair.First.ToString() == "NoFilter")
        { }
        else
        {
            if (grid.Columns.FindByDataField(columnName).DataType.Name == "DateTime")
            {
                try
                {
                    TextBox FilterColumnField = ((TextBox)((GridFilteringItem)e.Item)[columnName].Controls[0]);
                    string oldDate = FilterColumnField.Text;
                    FilterColumnField.Text = DateTime.ParseExact(FilterColumnField.Text, "dd.MM.yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy 12:00:00 tt");
                }
                catch (FormatException)
                {
                    e.Canceled = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
