Calendar Control - Course ASP.NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 - Lesson 20 | DevMedia .net courses

Duration:  19 minutes

Summary: In this video we discuss the Calendar control. Calendar is one of the advanced controls in ASP.NET. It can be used to display dates for the user to select from, and also as a list of events within an organization. It renders as a table and lots of JavaScript. The Calendar control has many properties that we can change from the design screen or from the code behind. In this case, we saw how to format the calendar and change some of its properties (like SelectionChanged, PrevMonthText, NextMonthText, DayNameformat, BorderStyle,AutoFormat). The Calendar also has some events that we can capture in to manipulate the calendar. For example, we can capture the DayRender event (which is triggered every time a day is rendered) to disable the weekend selection. We can also capture the SelectionChanged event to react every time the user makes a day selection.

Methodology of the development of example: Good coding standard and simplified design to illustrate the key points.
