Hi Group:

The Below is the code for the User Control that contains a Calendar. The Calendar has a textbox at the top. Right Now the Textbox is set to show mm/dd/yyyy. I need to find a way to set this textbox to the current day same as the day selected automatically in the calendar.

Any help-----It's deeply appreciate it....Thank you all...

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Test.ascx.vb" Inherits="Test" %>
<asp:textbox id="txtDate" runat="server" Width="84px" Enabled="False">mm/dd/yyyy</asp:textbox>
<asp:ImageButton id="ibCalendar" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/App_Themes/SWN/images/IconCalendar.gif"></asp:ImageButton>
<asp:Panel ID="panel1" Visible="False" Width="16px" Runat="server" Height="120px">
<asp:calendar id="Calendar1" Width="168px" runat="server" Height="72px" BackColor="White" DayNameFormat="FirstLetter"
ForeColor="Black" Font-Size="8pt" Font-Names="Verdana" BorderColor="#999999" CellPadding="4">
<TodayDayStyle ForeColor="Black" BackColor="#CCCCCC"></TodayDayStyle>
<SelectorStyle BackColor="#CCCCCC"></SelectorStyle>
<DayStyle BorderColor="Red"></DayStyle>
<NextPrevStyle VerticalAlign="Bottom"></NextPrevStyle>
<DayHeaderStyle Font-Size="7pt" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="#CCCCCC"></DayHeaderStyle>
<SelectedDayStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" BackColor="#666666"></SelectedDayStyle>
<TitleStyle Font-Bold="True" BorderColor="Black" BackColor="#999999"></TitleStyle>
<WeekendDayStyle BackColor="Desktop"></WeekendDayStyle>

</asp:calendar>
</asp:Panel>

The calendar has a SelectedDate property. When the calendar's selection changes (you need to create an event handler for this) simple set the txtDate's Text property to a nicely formatted string using the calendar's SelectedDate.

If you have trouble with this, then you really should be brushing up on the basics of ASP.NET -- handling events, setting control properties, handling postbacks, and so on.

Also, see this:

Google has tons of examples if you search.

artial Class Test
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
Private m_enabled As Boolean = True
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Me.txtDate.Text = Now.Date()
End Sub
Public Property SelectedDate() As String
Get
Return Me.txtDate.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
Me.txtDate.Text = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Property Enabled() As Boolean
Get
Return m_enabled
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Boolean)
Me.txtDate.Enabled = Value
Me.ibCalendar.Enabled = Value
m_enabled = Value
End Set
End Property
Private Sub Calendar1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Calendar1.SelectionChanged
Me.txtDate.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString
Me.panel1.Visible = False

End Sub

Private Sub ibCalendar_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ibCalendar.Click
If Me.panel1.Visible = False Then
Me.panel1.Visible = True
Else
Me.panel1.Visible = False
'Me.txtDate.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString
End If
End Sub

Private Sub txtDate_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDate.TextChanged
Me.txtDate.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString
End Sub
End Class

Thank You all ---- Enjoy

Why is your SelectedDate property a string???? Always use the correct data types, whether it is SQL or .NET ... That is the #1 most basic, simple and important rule when designing a database or an application.
