If you are looking for a component to enhance your calendar or
date/time selection web page, RicherComponents.com has released
a new component called RichDatePicker. It provides a
point-and-click popup calendar window that allows you to select
a variety of date and time appearances. This feature will
resolve any issues end users might have with date/time formats
and will also improve the accuracy of the dates entered into
your online forms.
I couldn't keep this example any more simpler to show you how
easy it is to use this component. First either copy the
RichDatePicker.dll file to your application's bin folder or into
the GAC. Then add the following line to the top of your ASPX
file.
Within the body of your HTML add the RichDatePicker Tag as shown
below. I have also added the built in .NET calendar tag for this
example.
In your code behind page or between your script tags add the
following code. If you are using inline ASP.NET code not Visual
Studio .NET then you will need to remove "Handles button1.click".
Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
Calendar1.SelectedDate = RDP1.SelectedDate
End Sub
In this example, the DP.RichDatePicker tag by default creates a
text box with today’s date in it. Next to the text box is a
browse button. Once you select a date by clicking on the browse
button and submitting it, the date you selected will be
hi-lighted on the ASP.NET Calendar.

offers and an evaluation copy, go to www.richercomponents.com
