How to reduce RadDatePicker control size.

[Roman]

Hello
A RadDatePicker control with simple definition(<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="myPicker"/>)  consumes about ~15 Kb of page size.
On my page I have two grids, two asp combos, two text boxes and rendered page size is 70Kb,  I need to place four date pickers and they consume about ~60Kb, the page size is increasing up to ~130 Kb and that is very much....
Please provide any solutions/examples how to reduce the RadDatePicker control size.

Thanks

Try setting SharedCalendarID property, so they can reuse the same RadCalendar for each RadDatePicker.

Here's the demo:

If the RadDatePicker controls are in the grid, check out this demo:

Also, you should use the RadScriptManager and RadStyleSheetManager controls on your pages if you're not already doing so, as they will help reduce the javascript and css files used by the controls.

I hope that helps.
