Hi Telerik,

I'm having trouble getting the calendar to reselect template for the calendarbuttoncontent after initial load.

I've found that if I "browse" the calendar (so that the content is not shown) and back again, the template is reapplied, using updated information in my behind lists of dates.

I have created the following template selector:

public class CalendarButtonTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
{
    public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container)
    {
        CalendarButtonContent content = item as CalendarButtonContent;
        if (content != null && content.ButtonType == CalendarButtonType.Date)
        {
            if (CentralCalendarWindow.CalendarViewItems != null && CentralCalendarWindow.CalendarViewItems.Exists(c => c.Date == content.Date))
            {
                CalendarViewItem calendarViewItem = CentralCalendarWindow.CalendarViewItems.Find(c => c.Date == content.Date);
                if (calendarViewItem.Holiday)
                {
                    return HolidayTemplate;
                }
                else if (calendarViewItem.NoDistribution)
                {
                    return NoDistributionTemplate;
                }
                else if (calendarViewItem.PartlyNoDistribution)
                {
                    return PartlyNoDistributionTemplate;           
                }
            }
        }
        return DefaultTemplate;
    }
    public DataTemplate DefaultTemplate { get; set; }
    public DataTemplate HolidayTemplate { get; set; }
    public DataTemplate NoDistributionTemplate { get; set; }
    public DataTemplate PartlyNoDistributionTemplate { get; set; }
}

In XAML i bind to the selector as a static resource like this:

DayTemplateSelector="{StaticResource templateSelector}"

And my template selection is like this:

<this:CalendarButtonTemplateSelector x:Key="templateSelector"
      DefaultTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplateDefault}"
      HolidayTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplateHoliday}"
      NoDistributionTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplateNoDistribution}"
      PartlyNoDistributionTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplatePartlyNoDistribution}"/>


Now the question - How can I explicitly have the calendar redo its template selection, like it does when the content gets redrawn when "browsing" the calendar.

And what I would really want to do is to only redo the template selection on specific days if possible.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Kasper Schou

Just to clarify, the following code will reapply the template selection:

DateTime current = _calendar.DisplayDate;
_calendar.DisplayDate = current.AddYears(1);
_calendar.DisplayDate = current;

But obviously I'm not very fond of using the above in my solution :)

Hi Kasper Schou,

Sorry for the late response. What you can do is as follows:

var currentSelector = calendar.DayTemplateSelector;
calendar.DayTemplateSelector = null;
calendar.DayTemplateSelector = currentSelector;

Hi Kaloyan,

Thank you for the reply, this is somewhat more pretty and works just fine :)

I've tried doing this by resetting the DayTemplateSelector as suggested and it works to an extent, but I have found that, although though the day templates are recalculated, the day buttons become disabled until I manually change months. Changing the DisplayDate as Kasper once mentioned works and doesn't cause this issue. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
