Calendar Control Maximum and Minimum Date

[Dave Thomas]

Is there a way of setting a maximum date which a user can select for
the webcontrols calendar control? The only work around I have is to
validate what date the user selects and post an error if it is beyond
the maximum date I require which is annoying for the user.

Thanks

Dave

Nope,
but you can get around that by removing the maximum and minimum dates which
are visible to the user. If they can't see it, they can't select it and
there is no need for validation code. To make it invisible, you would set
the font size to 1px and the background and foreground color would need to
be set to match the calendar background.

Thanks Alvin. I'll give that a try.
As a follow up does anyone know the reason why setting minimum or
maximum dates is not allowed on this control?
