[Solved] No SelectedDateChanged Event raised (DatePicker programatically)

[Fred]

I have a problem with the RadDatePicker's Event "selectedDateChanged". It raises without problems if it was created in the Markup, and the eventhandler is attached there such as:

<rad:RadDatePicker ID="rdp1" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server"
        onselecteddatechanged="rdp1_SelectedDateChanged"></rad:RadDatePicker>

If this Control is created by code, NO Eventhandler will fire:

RadDatePicker rdp = new RadDatePicker();
            rdp.SelectedDate = new DateTime(2009, 5, 4);
            rdp.AutoPostBack = true;
            rdp.SelectedDateChanged += new SelectedDateChangedEventHandler(rdp_SelectedDateChanged);
this.Controls.Add(rdp);

I searched for help here in the forum but I didn't get the trick to let the Handler fire....

Please help ;)

Thanks already

Hey Pavel,

thanks for your help! I worked it out now!

I used the "normal" ASP-Radcontrols, as soon as I switched the non-AJAX-Datepicker with the AJAX-Datepicker, the Eventhandler fired suddenly. But I still don't know why the other control didn't! Anyway.... it works, and so my problem is gone...

Thanks again, i can now replace the buggy Calendar I used with the RadDatePicker, cheers!

Kind regards
Frithjof
