Empty Rows at the Top

[Rakshit]

Telerik,

I am using 2008 RAD Calendar Control.  I do not want to show the Previous or Next month dates in Calendar.  So I set the ShowOtherMonthsDays="false"

I also set FirstDayOfWeek="Monday". 

I am getting Empty Row at the bottom if the first day starts from Tuesday to Friday.  I was able to remove the Empty row from bottom by using some Server Side Logic.

Issue Starts here:

When the 1st day starts on Monday, I am getting one empty row on top of all the rows.  I want to remove that row.

If I remove FirstDayOfWeek="Monday", then by default it takes FirstDayOfWeek="Sunday".  So in this case I am getting an Extra Empty row on top of other rows if the First Day of week falls on Sunday.

Please help. I want to remove empty rows from Calendar.

FYI, I am using 6 Rows X 7 Colums Layout of Calendar.

Thanks,
Rakshit Bakshi

Hello Rakshit,

You can use the calendar DayRender server event and there depending on the first day of the current month to hide the top or the bottom empty row.

Please find attached a sample project with the suggested solution and let me know if this works for you.

Let us know how it goes.

This works for SingleView calendars, but how would I do this for Multiview calendars?

Hi Dave,

Indeed, the desired functionality could be achieved for multi-month view calendar. In this case, you need perform a check for the first day of month not only for the FocusedDate month (which is date of the first month displayed) but for the other months in the multi-month view and hide the first empty row respectively.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Write this code in ur calander render method.  it will work cool.

CalendarDay

 

d = ((DayRenderEventArgs)e).Day;

 

 

TableCell c = ((DayRenderEventArgs)e).Cell;

 

c.Controls.Add(

new LiteralControl("<br />2:00"));

 

 

if (d.IsOtherMonth && d.Date.Day>15)

 

{

 

if (d.Date.AddDays(6).Month == d.Date.Month && ViewState["count"]==null)

 

{

ViewState[

"count"] = 0;

 

}

 

if (Convert.ToInt16(ViewState["count"]) < 7 && ViewState["count"]!=null)

 

{

c.Text =

"";

 

ViewState[

"count"] = Convert.ToInt16(ViewState["count"]) + 1;

 

}

 

else

 

 

 

 

{

c.Text =

"&nbsp;";

 

}

}

 

if (d.IsOtherMonth && d.Date.Day < 15)

 

{

 

if (d.Date.DayOfWeek.ToString() == "Sunday")

 

{

ViewState[

"next"] = "1";

 

}

 

 

if (Convert.ToString(ViewState["next"]) == "1")

 

{

c.Text =

"";

 

}

 

else

 

 

 

 

c.Text =

"&nbsp;";

 

}

The logic from the sample project provided by Telerik did not seem to work correctly for me.  There were some months that still showed the empty row.  It was also using the focused date when it should of been using the first day of the month which may not have been the first day of the month which ultimately caused even more issues such as a week in the middle of the month being hidden.

I wanted to share my code that seems to work with the rest of the community.  Note that I did not test the C# but instead used Telerik's converter to get the code:

HTML

<telerik:RadCalendar runat="server" ID="RadCalendar2"
     OnDayRender="RadCalendar_DayRender"
     ShowOtherMonthsDays="false" />

VB.Net

    Protected Sub RadCalendar_DayRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs)
        '' This method is used to hide the empty rows at the top/bottom that show up when the month starts on a Sunday or ends on a Saturday.
        Dim Cal As RadCalendar = CType(sender, RadCalendar)
        Dim currentMonth As Integer = Cal.FocusedDate.Month
        Dim FirstDay As Date = CDate(currentMonth & "/1/" & Cal.FocusedDate.Year)
        Dim LastDay As Date = FirstDay.AddDays(DateTime.DaysInMonth(FirstDay.Year, FirstDay.Month) - 1)

        If e.Day.Date < FirstDay OrElse e.Day.Date > LastDay Then
            Dim CurrentDayOfWeek As Int32 = CInt(e.Day.Date.DayOfWeek)
            Dim FirstDayOfWeek As Date = e.Day.Date.AddDays(CurrentDayOfWeek * -1)
            Dim LastDayOfWeek = FirstDayOfWeek.AddDays(6)
            If FirstDayOfWeek.Month <> currentMonth AndAlso LastDayOfWeek.Month <> currentMonth Then
                DirectCast((e.Cell.Parent), TableRow).Style("display") = "none"
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

C#

protected void RadCalendar_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    //' This method is used to hide the empty rows at the top/bottom that show up when the month starts on a Sunday or ends on a Saturday.
    RadCalendar Cal = (RadCalendar)sender;
    int currentMonth = Cal.FocusedDate.Month;
    System.DateTime FirstDay = (System.DateTime)currentMonth + "/1/" + Cal.FocusedDate.Year;
    System.DateTime LastDay = FirstDay.AddDays(DateTime.DaysInMonth(FirstDay.Year, FirstDay.Month) - 1);

    if (e.Day.Date < FirstDay || e.Day.Date > LastDay) {
        Int32 CurrentDayOfWeek = (int)e.Day.Date.DayOfWeek;
        System.DateTime FirstDayOfWeek = e.Day.Date.AddDays(CurrentDayOfWeek * -1);
        object LastDayOfWeek = FirstDayOfWeek.AddDays(6);
        if (FirstDayOfWeek.Month != currentMonth && LastDayOfWeek.Month != currentMonth) {
            ((TableRow)(e.Cell.Parent)).Style("display") = "none";
        }
    }
}

FYI - I am using the Telerik Q3 2009 controls but the logic here should work either way.

Hope this helps someone out
