Ajax CalendarExtender Example, Change date format and show calendar when click on button in ASP.NET


In this article I will explain what is Ajax CalendarExtender with Example, Change date format and show calendar when click on button in ASP.NET.

Ajax CalendarExtender:

Calendar is an ASP.NET AJAX extender that can be attached to any ASP.NET TextBox control. It provides client-side date-picking functionality with customizable date format and UI in a popup control. You can interact with the calendar by clicking on a day to set the date, or the "Today" link to set the current date.

Syntax:

<ajaxToolkit:Calendar runat="server"
    TargetControlID="Date1"
    CssClass="ClassName"
    Format="MMMM d, yyyy"
     />

Example:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtInvoiceDate"></asp:TextBox>
<Ajax:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender2" runat="server" Enabled="true" Format="dd/MM/yyyy"

                                                            TargetControlID="txtInvoiceDate">



Properties:
  1. TargetControlID - The ID of the TextBox to extend with the calendar.
  2. CssClass - Name of the CSS class used to style the calendar. See the Calendar Theming section for more information.
  3. Format - Format string used to display the selected date.
  4. PopupButtonID - The ID of a control to show the calendar popup when clicked. If this value is not set, the calendar will pop up when the textbox receives focus.
  5. PopupPosition - Indicates where the calendar popup should appear at the BottomLeft(default), BottomRight, TopLeft, TopRight, Left or Right of the TextBox.
  6. SelectedDate - Indicates the date the Calendar extender is initialized with.
  7. StartDate - Indicates start date for range that available for selection.
