RadCalendar and URL

[Peter Zolja]

Hi,

Is it possible to use the url to navigate a calendar? I could allow it to post-back and then redirect to mypage.aspx?date=1/9/08, but can I achieve something similar without the extra post-back?

Another approach would be to put the RadCalendar inside an UpdatePanel and right before the postback change the URL dynamically with Javascript. Has anybody attempted to do this?

Thanks.

Hello Peter,

You can do this using DayRender server-side event:

    protected void RadCalendar1_DayRender(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.DayRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cell.Text = String.Format(@"<a href=""MyPage.aspx?Date={0}"">{1}</a>", e.Day.Date.ToString(), e.Day.Date.ToString());
    }


Kind regards,

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm trying to change the next / previous month links. I'm already customizing the content of each cell. I'm trying to do this so that search engines could follow the calendar.

Thanks.

Hello Peter,

One option is to use Js to locate the link(s) and alter the href, as shown in the code snippet below:

.aspx

<telerik:RadCalendar runat="server" Id="Calendar1" >
<ClientEvents OnLoad="onLoad" />
</telerik:RadCalendar>

.Js

<script type="text/javascript">

               function onLoad()
               {
               var link = $get("Calendar1_NN");
               link.href="newUrl";
               }

</script>

I hope this suggestion helps.
