Hi all,

I am having a requirement tht i have to select the date from 3 drop downlists for date, month and year combo boxes. I already wrote a code for a calendar control tht when selected will be displayed in the adjacent text box. but now for a date of birth u cant ask people to go back to the year tht they have born(may be around 84 ) then my code is of useless thts y i am asking for a drop down list calendar control.
My code goes here for the old calendar control

CODE
Protected Sub btndob_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btndob.Click
        Try
            If (txtdob.Text.Trim() IsNot DBNull.Value) Then
                Calendar1.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(txtdob.Text)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            IsDate(txtdob.Text)
        End Try
        Calendar1.Visible = True
    End Sub

    Protected Sub Calendar1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Calendar1.SelectionChanged
        txtdob.Text = DateTime.Parse(Calendar1.SelectedDate).ToString()
        Calendar1.Visible = False
    End Sub

How can we do tht any help or suggestions for performing this task......

AJAX has a great Calendar control that acts like a drop-down list.

or do you want individual dropdown lists for the month, day, and year?

not that hard to do individual dropdown lists. add a dropdownlist to the form, go to the "Items" property and input all of the values.

after all of the values are in the three dropdownlists, you can use this to get the date...

CODE

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime dtmDate;

    // Assuming that you named the three dropdownlists accordingly
    string strDate = string.Format("{0}/{1}/{2}", dropdownlistMonth.Text, dropdownlistDay.Text, dropdownlistYear.Text);
    
    dtmDate = DateTime.Parse(strDate);
}


you could also add the values to the dropdownlists through code instead of having to type them all in.

Hi ,

Thanks for ur reply i did it like this :
CODE
If Not IsPostBack Then
            Dim i As Integer
            Dim values As New ArrayList
            For i = 1970 To Today.Year
                values.Add(i)
                ddlyear.DataSource = values
                ddlyear.DataBind()
                ddlyearj.DataSource = values
                ddlyearj.DataBind()
            Next
        End If
        d = (ddlday.SelectedItem.Value & ddlmonth.SelectedItem.Value & ddlyear.SelectedItem.Value).ToString()

        s = (ddldatej.SelectedItem.Value & ddlmonthj.SelectedItem.Value & ddlyearj.SelectedItem.Value).ToString()


My problem with the date capturing is done but now how to determine whether the user selects feb 30 then its bug in my code how to fix it??
Any suggestions please....

you can do two things.

1. you can make the page postback on the change in month. This way, you can set the day drop down to 28 for February(29 for a leap year).

or

2. you could just catch the bad date. I believe the "DateTime.Parse" should catch February 30th as a bad date(though I haven't tested that).

I use a Textbox to display the date selected in the three dropdownlists and then use a RangeValidator of Type="Date" to validate the entry in the textbox.
If you prefer, you can just set the TextBox property Visible="false"
