Hello Markus,


You could set the MinDate property of RadDatePicker from code behind as shown below.

Code:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadDatePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
    }

To complete what Shinu posted, you would also set the MaxDate as well, since you mentioned you wanted it them to only select from today's date to up to one year. So it would look like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadDatePicker1.MinDate = DateTime.Today;
        RadDatePicker1.MaxDate = DateTime.Today.AddYears(1);
    }

I hope that helps.

perfect thanks

dont suppose you know how to remove the week number column too?

[Shinu]

Hi,

To remove week number column, set the ShowRowHeaders property to false.
 
Mark-up:

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="DateIn" runat="server" Width="100px">
    <Calendar ShowRowHeaders="false">
    </Calendar>
</telerik:RadDatePicker>

Thanks

sorry, one more question

the date being passed in on this

this

 

 

.uxArrivalDate.SelectedDate

 

is (as a url parameter)
08/10/2010%2000:00:00


how do i strip the time from this?

Hi Markus,

SelectedDate is a DateTime object, so it accepts and returns DateTime values. Depending on your requirements, you can strip or add time using standard ASP.NET methods, e.g. string operations, etc.
