RadCalendar - Forecolor

[Jay]

Hi,

I am having a RadCalendar, need to set forecolor for each  different days. In a month calendar, Holidays  are in red forecolor, sunday are in brown color,  some specific day in Green color(15,20, 23...). Need to do it in _DayRender or any other event in code-behind. If i go to next month, it has to display. Also, if i select a day, it has get the data from database and display the values in grid or text controls.  Tried some of the demo's/forums, not getting solution for this.

Thank you Princy. It's on disabling calendar days. Its really useful.

Can you give the server code for change the forecolor of the calendar for only few days like 12,18,27.. (ie based on data from database). I  tried but not getting output.

 protected void calDate_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
    {
Code 1:

        DateTime CurrentDate = e.Day.Date.AddDays(1);    
        e.Cell.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Brown; -- NOT working
        e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LimeGreen; -- Working

Code 2:

        TableCell currentCell = e.Cell;
        currentCell.Style["background-color"] = "DarkOrange"; -- Working
        currentCell.Style["forecolor"] = "red";  -- NOT Working
}.

Please give me solution as soon as possible.
regards
Jay

Hello Jay,

The described functionality is a bug in the RadCalendar.
I have reported it to our developers and they will work on fixing it for future releases of the RadCalendar for ASP.NET AJAX.

Hi Mira,

Thanks for your information. Is any other alternate way to get the forecolor in Calendar days ( From server code for change the forecolor of the calendar for only few days like 8,12,18,27).

Hello Jay,

You can the CSS class conditionally only to some dates:

void RadCalendar1_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Day.Date == new DateTime(2011, 11, 11))
    {
        e.Cell.CssClass = "redClass";
    }
}

I hope this helps.
