CalendarExtender(AjaxControlToolkit) inside the RadGrid ?

[Max]

Hi,

Is there a way to add the CalendarExtender from Ajax Control Toolkit inside the RadGrid ? In my table I've got a datetime field so I need to perform a little validation for the date field.

Thanks a lot

Hi Max,


You can use a template field with a TextBox and CalendarExtender as shown below:

        <div>
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
                <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="false">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="GridTemplateColumn1" HeaderText="GridTemplateColumn1" >
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                                <cc1:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox1"/>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
            </telerik:RadGrid>
        </div>

Hi, Telerik Support Team!

I've got the problem: when I use calendar exteneder in my grid template column, on Item Updating I need to use DateTime.ParseExact(...) function, because date should be displayed in particular format. How can I proceed this conversion?

When I use the CalendarExtender inside of a RadGrid GridTemplateColumn, the calendar does not diplay correctly.  I use this control in various other Telerik controls with no issue.  Is this a known problem?

Hi Mike,

You can fix the layout by adding the following css to the head tag of your page:

<style type="text/css">
.RadGrid  td  .ajax__calendar  td
{
    padding:0;
}
</style>

All the best,

Hi Pavel,

I had the same issue with the calendar extender from the ajax tool kit and the layout doesn't display correctly even after adding that style bit, Please advice.
