Is it possible to client-side validate a calendar?

[Tony Girgenti]

Hello.

Developing a VS2005, SP4, VB, .NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0, web site program using
a calendar.

I tried using the validators to see if i can validate dates using a calendar
control. It does not allow me to select the calendar control in the
drop-down list for the ControlToValidate property.

Is it possible to do client-side validation of calendar dates?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

A solution that I have gone with is to use the CalendarExtender on a
TextBox provided by AJAX Controls available at: http://ajax.asp.net/toolkit/default.aspx.
This gives me the calendar functionality and then I just apply a
RegularExpressionValidator on the TextBox. My favorite feature of
this is that I don't have to use up this large space on the page to
display a Calendar and yet still maintain the Calendar Functionality I
desire.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Joshua

Hello Joshua.

I'm just getting into studying AJAX. That sounds like what i want.

If i use the AJAX control, do i have to have the AJAX program running on the
server when and where i go to install the finished product?

Thanks,
Tony

The CalendarExtender is very nice but you must install Microsoft AJAX
Extensions on the server in order to use it.

Hello Mark.

Hmmmm. So, is it worth it for me to use the CalendarExtender? I would have
to install the Microsoft AJAX Extensions on the server wherever i take my
program?

Thanks,

If you can install the Ajax extensions on the server then do it. Many
people don't have access to their server!

This Ajax Calender extender control is very nice, far better than the
old calender control.
