I would like to be able to use a calender to populate a text box, I would like the user to click in a text box which causes the calender appear, the user then picks a date using the calender and then the chosen date appears in the text box, but I am unsure about how to do this in ASP. Net

Thanks

Write this code in the aspx file:

function pickDate(Src,lt)
{
window.open("CalendarPopUp.aspx?src=" + Src, "_blank", "height=160,width=240,left=" + lt + ",top=75," + "location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no ,titlebar=no,toolbar=no", true);

}

The above function needs to be called in the specific event of
the textbox :
onkeypress="pickDate('txtFromdt',50);"



In the code behind of CalendarPopUp.aspx write this:

Dim sbScript As New StringBuilder
sbScript.Append("<script language='javascript'>")
sbScript.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sbScript.Append("window.opener.document.forms[0].")
sbScript.Append(Request.QueryString("src"))
sbScript.Append(".value = '") //displays the date selected in calendar in
                                       //the textbox
sbScript.Append(Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString("d d/MM/yyyy"))
sbScript.Append("';")
sbScript.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sbScript.Append("window.close();")
sbScript.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sbScript.Append("</script>")
RegisterStartupScript("CloseWindow", sbScript.ToString)

PLease note that i had used the above code to invoke the calendar
control on the click of a image. You will have to make some
changes to the code

Oops...forgot to mention that you need to add the above
StringBuilder code in the SelectionChanged event of the
calendar (CalendarPopUp.aspx)

Just now i tried this code on the click of textbox and it
worked fine.
