OnDateSelected

The OnDateSelected client-side event handler is called immediately after the value of the control's selection has changed.

The event handler receives two arguments:

  1. the object that fired the event.

  2. an event arguments object that exposes the following methods:OnDateSelected event arguments object for RadCalendar

Name Return Type Arguments Description
get_renderDay() RenderDay client-side object Returns the client-side RenderDay object for the day that was just selected or unselected.
Name Return Type Arguments Description
get_oldValue() string Returns the old value of the control, formatted as a string.
get_newValue() string Returns the new value of the control, formatted as a string

</telerik:RadCalendar>          
function dateSelected(sender, eventArgs) {
    var date = eventArgs.get_renderDay().get_date();
    var dfi = sender.DateTimeFormatInfo;
