RadDatePicker + Restrictions

[James Legan]

I have a signout system in my app that, based on some criteria allows a user to sign something out for 1 - n days. I was formally using a custom control that was developed by a 3rd party that I could disable days beyond the users allowed limits (ie If the user was only allowed to sign something out for 14 days max, the 15th day and beyond would be unselectable). This control however had some serious issues and now that I am the proud owner of RadControls, I would like to use Telerik's implementation.

My question is two fold:

1) Is this possible with the RadDatePicker / RadCalender?
2) If not, what is the best solution to implement to obtain the desired result.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi James,

The RadDatePicker has MinDate and MaxDate properties that allows to select a date range for the Datepicker. You can achieve the desired functionality by setting these properties to the desired dates. The code snippet for this is given below.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadDatePicker1.MinDate = Convert.ToDateTime("11/5/2008 12:00:00 AM");
        RadDatePicker1.MaxDate = Convert.ToDateTime("11/19/2008 12:00:00 AM");
    }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks Shinu!

You do *not* want to see the code I came up with yesterday to accomplish the same result :).
