Set Datepicker from SQL database

[Dale]

Hi, I am using RadDatePicker as follows:

 

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDATERECIEVED" runat="server" Culture="English (United States)" >
<DateInput runat="server" DateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" MaxLength="10">

 

The picker works fine, you can pick the date, it formats with a maximum length.

I have two questions:

1.  How do I set the DatePicker field so that the user cannot enter a date, it has to be chosen from the calendar.

2.  I will be loading some records with an existing date from SQL that needs to be loaded into the DatePicker.   What property do I use as I see no value property.

 

Thank you for your time.  Dale,

Hello Dale,

Straight to the points:

1. You can use the following property to achieve this requirement:

<DateInput ... ReadOnly="true">

2. You can use the DbSelectedDate property similar to this live sample:

I hope this will prove helpful.
