Hi,
I am using a RadDatePicker Control on my page. I have to calculate the difference in weeks between the date selected in this RadDatePicker Control and Current Date (i.e Today's Date). I have to display this difference (in weeks) inside a textbox on selecting a date from the RadDatePicker Control. How can I do this ?

I have used the following html code for RadDatePicker Control in my application :-

    
            <telerik:RadDatePicker ID="dtDate" runat="server" DateInput-DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" Width="120px" Skin="WebBlue">   
        
            <DateInput DateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" LabelCssClass="radLabelCss_WebBlue" Skin="WebBlue" runat="server" ID="DateInput6" >   
        
            </DateInput>   
        
            <Calendar Skin="WebBlue" Width="50px" Height="50px">   
        
            </Calendar>   
        
            <DatePopupButton CssClass="radPopupImage_WebBlue" />   
        
            </telerik:RadDatePicker>

Thanks

Hello Rahul,

Your task is to calculate the difference between two Javascript Date objects. In order to do that, please get familiar with the Javascript Date object API:

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp

After you create your calculation algorithm, use the RadDatePicker's DateSelected client event to get the newly selected date:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/calendar_clientsideondateselected.html

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server">
<ClientEvents OnDateSelected="MyDateSelected" />
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Hi Rahul,

Try the following client side code for retrieving the difference in weeks numbers between today's and selected date.

ASPX:

    
            <telerik:RadCalendar ID="RadCalendar1" runat="server"> 
        
            <ClientEvents OnDateSelected="OnDateSelected" /> 
        
            </telerik:RadCalendar>

JavaScript:

    
            <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
            function Week() 
        
            { 
        
                Date.prototype.getMDay = function() 
        
                { 
        
                return (this.getDay() + 6) %7;} 
        
                Date.prototype.getISOYear = function() { 
        
                var thu = new Date(this.getFullYear(), this.getMonth(), this.getDate()+3-this.getMDay()); 
        
                return thu.getFullYear();} 
        
                Date.prototype.getISOWeek = function() { 
        
                var onejan = new Date(this.getISOYear(),0,1); 
        
                var wk = Math.ceil((((this - onejan) / 86400000) + onejan.getMDay()+1)/7); 
        
                if (onejan.getMDay() > 3) wk--;return wk;}  
        
                var today = new Date(); 
        
                return today.getISOWeek(); 
        
            } 
        
            function OnDateSelected(sender, eventArgs) 
        
            {   
        
                var WeekOfYear = eventArgs.get_renderDay().RadCalendarView.GetWeekOfYear(eventArgs.get_renderDay().get_date()) 
        
                var WeekOfToday = Week(); 
        
               // alert(WeekOfYear); 
        
               // alert(WeekOfToday); 
        
                var diff = WeekOfToday - WeekOfYear; 
        
                alert(diff); 
        
            } 
        
            </script>
