How to Find and Set Date in RadCalendar

[Kristine]

Hi,

Is there a simple way on how to set the date in a Silverlight RadCalendar? For example, my date is 2010/06/30, how can I set this in the calendar?

Hello QA,

You want to set the date to RadCalendar or record a test where by clicking you navigate to this date? I will need some more info about what you are trying to achieve. If you want to set the date in the RadCalendar in your SIlverlight application you can set SelectedDate="2010-06-30" . If you want to record a test just click record navigate to the desired date and select it.

Hi Boyan,

I did a recording setting the date in the RadCalendar to 2010-06-30. But I want this date to be dynamic, so I created a coded step that will generate a random date, and then input this date in the RadCalendar. Is this possible?

Hi QA,

It is not possible to set the SelectedDate as a property of the RadCalendar. Here is what you can do. The translators for Telerik controls allow you to record user interactions. You can use a data driven test like shown in this video: http://www.artoftest.com/community/datadriven/datadrive-test.aspx .

The thing is that you will need to write some code that compares the current view with the date you wish to select. Then use : calendar.ViewUp();   calendar.SelectMonth("Apr");    etc..
 For example the calendar is showing  April 2010, you wish to select  15.05.2010. Compare 04 to 05 and see that this is next month. Then:
calendar.ScrollRight();
calendar.SelectDay("15");
This will go to next month and then select 15.

Let me know if you need more help.
