Avoid Selection of Weekend and Holiday Dates.

[Lok]

Hi,
I'm new to RAD Controls and I was wondering if there is a way to avoid selection of weekend and a list of holiday dates from the the RAD Calendar while using a RadDatePicker?
Thanks,
Lok.

Hello,

The following code library demonstrates how you can disable calendar days (e.g. weekend days) in the calendar component of RadDatePicker.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Shinu,
I actually figured that out yesterday after exploring a few things :)
It wasn't that tough. I really appreciate your quick response and thanks once again!!!

I have tried the code samples. It disable the week ends only for the current month. When we goto next month or pervious month, this disable functionality doesn't work. Kindly give me a solution.

Thanks

Hello Katte,


You need to handle client-side OnDayRender events of the calendar control for disabling the days on client-side navigation to a different month view.

Have you added the client side code for disabling the days, as shown in the code library?

Hi Shinu.
I have done as you instructed for the weekend but now I have to also disable the holidays that resides in the Holiday Table. I need to be able to read dates on the table and apply it in the calendar. I also need to incorporate this process with http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/calendar/two-raddatepickers.aspx 
Thank you.

Hi,

This can be easily achieved by using special days collection or the DayRender event handler. If the user is the one deciding which day would that be, you can make a case check for the e.Day.Day and set the choice as special day.

Hope this helps.
