MonthYear picker

[Trevor]

I want to replace my RadDatePicker with a RadMonthYearPicker resulting in less clutter for the page, problem is I need to get the start and end of the month selected via MonthYear picker for my query.

the statement below:

protected void DateChange(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDateChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            //Session.Add("StartDate", RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate);
            Session.Add("selectedMonth", RadMonthYearPicker1.DbSelectedDate);
        }

returns merely the month I choose, the day today, and the chosen year. ex return '5/13/2011'.  When I want to get '5/1/2011' and '5/31/2011'
Any suggestions on how I can get the 'start' and 'end' of the month or do I stick with RadDatePicker for now? If there is a way to do this pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Trevor,

That is pretty much how the RadMonthYearPicker works. It only returns one date, not two. If you want to get the two dates, you'll need to generate them off the SelectedDate of the RadMonthYearPicker. So something like this:

DateTime selectedDate = RadMonthYearPicker.SelectedDate.Value;
DateTime startDate = selectedDate.AddDays((selectedDate.Day - 1) * -1);
DateTime endDate = startDate.AddDays(DateTime.DaysInMonth(startDate.Year, startDate.Month) - 1);

I hope that helps
