Hi,

Is there some straight forward way in ASP.Net to integrate the Calendar 

Control with a Text box?

Currently I display the calendar control which occupies a lot of space 

on the screen.  Instead, I could use a text box with a small command 

Button. I could display the calendar (in a window or a Layer) on Click 

of the Button. And when the user selects a date in the calendar object, 

I could populate the selected value into the Text box and hide/close the 

calendar control.

But I was just wondering if there is some other straight forward method 

of doing this in ASP.Net. Anybody out there aware of something like 

this?

Thanks,

Ajay

What we have here is the idea of fitting the Windows programming 

paradigm to Web applications, and I fall into this trap often. It's 

pretty easy to hide the calendar control, but then you've the problem of 

how to display it. Showing it on the page somewhere again mean the 

real-estate problem - you can simply set the style attributes to hide 

and unhide it. I'm never really happy with the pop-up window idea - from 

a usability point of view I always think it's too intrusive and too easy 

to click outside the pop-up window and move it to the background. If you 

do take this approach, then you could easily just post-back to the 

original page with the Date as a QueryString variable and fill in the 

appropriate field.

A server side calendar ctrl similar to MS Date Time Picker would be nice

option if available.
