title: Telerik controls not responding to .text. What else can i use?
body: <p>I have this line of code I'm stumped on</p>
  
  <pre><code>OFXDownloadLink.NavigateUrl = "OFXDownload.aspx?acctID=" + acct.index + 
  "&amp;downloadFrom=" + fromDate1.Text.Split(' ')[0] + "&amp;downloadTo="
   + toDate.Text.Split(' ')[0];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>fromdate1.Text.split is giving me an error on text</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker' does not contain a definition for 'Text' and no extension method 'Text' accepting a first argument of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What is the alternative for this line?  I see nothing useful in the documentation.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
