How do I get the clicked date server side when EnableMultiSelect=true?

[Vithiya]

I have a calendar that has EnableMultiSelect=true. The user is now able to select one or multiple dates on the calendar. On the server side I need to know the date that user clicks if he is selecting one at a time. Currently the selected date property seems to be good only for single selection mode. The selecteddates property for the multiselectionmode has all the selected dates which does not help me. I need to know the date the user clicked on when the calendar is in multiselection mode. The focused date does not seem to hold the correct value either.

Thanks,
Vithiya

Hello Vithiya,

You can retrieve the last selected/clicked date from the SelectedDates collection in SelectionChanged event.

C#:

    protected void RadCalendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDatesEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.SelectedDates.Count != 0)
        {
            Response.Write(e.SelectedDates[e.SelectedDates.Count - 1].Date.ToString()); // Last selected date
        }
    }

Hi

I don't want to get the last date in the calendar, I want to get the actual date that is clicked. Say I clicked on the 1st, and then I clicked on the 30th, and then I clicked on the 15th, I won't the last postback click to show me the 15th not the 30th. Is this possible?

Hello Michael,

You can achieve this by subscribing the client event OnDateClick and try the following code there.
javascript:

function OnDateClick(sender, eventArgs)
  {
     var day = eventArgs.get_renderDay();
     var formatInfo = sender.DateTimeFormatInfo;
     var formattedDate = formatInfo.FormatDate(day.get_date(), formatInfo.ShortDatePattern);
     alert(formattedDate);
 }

Thanks,
Shinu.
