Hi Paul,
Peter

The Report Parameters supports the most important data types including Date. In order to activate the Report Parameter UI to show a calendar control you have to set the Report Parameter's Type property to DateTime. If you need additional control over the Report Parameter's UI you can easily create a custom UI as illustrated in the attached sample project.
All the best,Peter

Hi,
This isn't really ideal - is it possible to get the auto-generated ui to use the RadDatePicker control for date fields? No doubt I can do this the hard way, but I have numerous parameters already and I would really prefer not to have to reimplement all of those as well. Plus in doing so I'd lose the automatic generation, so that changes to the report definition, say adding another parameter or changing a data source and default value would need to be reimplemented against every viewer.
I'm going to have a dig around how the parameter UI is generated now and see where there may be entry points to achieve this, but if you have any suggestions they'd be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

Well, I've managed to replace the calendar popup with a RadCalendar and got it loading / saving dates by setting calendarFrameSrc on the ReportViewer object in javascript and then hooking in to the same scripts the reportviewer uses against the standard ASP.NET calendar. Seems to work really well, but I know this isn't a long term solution and there's nothing to stop Q4 coming along and breaking it.
And I haven't been able to swap out the popup button for the RadDatePicker resource yet as I wanted to avoid having to hack the DOM via jQuery.
I can share this code if you like, plus got a few suggestions - there seem to be a few places where this could have been made *much* easier from the reportviewer end. I derived from the ReportViewer in the end, but was a little disappointed to not find a suitable place to swap out editor controls, or override a "create parameter editor" method. I didn't quite work out how the different iframes related back to the same reportviewer object - is this what the instanceID is for? in Session or Cache perhaps?
anyway, I've covered the business requirement so further discussion is academic really for now, but I'm still happy to have the discussion.

Hi Jayanth,
You can hide the DateTime parameter from the default viewer's parameters area, and add custom UI in the viewer's toolbar or elsewhere that handles the values for the parameter.
If you switch to the new HTML5 Report Viewer (introduced as of Q3 2013), you can create custom editors for parameters in the viewer's parameters area.
