Hello JK,

You can use the RangeMinDate property of the calendar control to disallow selection of dates prior to a certain date. This property is exclusive so you need to set it to the day after today like this:

RadCalendar1.RangeMinDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);

Kind regards,

Hi,

That controls the calendar control but how does this relate to the datepicker.  i tried a the following but didn't work:

This example is set in the page_load event and grabs hold of the control which is inside a form:

Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker rdpDate = (Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker)fvTest.FindControl("rdpDate");


// The following line did not work
rdpDate.SharedCalendar.RangeMinDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);

//The following line did not work
rdpDate.Calendar.RangeMinDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);

Thanks,

JK

Hi JK,

Please, get the shared calendar instance (through FindControl again if necessary) instead and let us know if that helps.

I only have the 1 datepicker on the form so I dont need a shared calendar.  the previous post was out of desperation trying to get the control to work.  I have spent a bit of time on it today and discovered this command (variation off what you supplied)

Telerik.Web.UI.

RadDatePicker rdp = (Telerik.Web.UI.RadDatePicker)formview.FindControl("datepickercontrol");

rdp.MinDate =

DateTime.Today.AddDays(1);

The above works.
