Is it possible to restrict the user input from selecting the date beyond the current date on a date-type report parameter? How should this be done?

Hello Chris,
Such functionality cannot be handled by the build-in report parameters which are not meant to be customized. Moreover, when you bind the DateTime parameter to a data source, it becomes a combobox with all the available dates, so there is no way for the user to go wrong and input a non existing date.
Your inquiry can only be applied to an unbound DateTime parameter, however you cannot specify a Min/Max value for it.
A possible solution for the time being would be to set the DateTime report parameters' visibility to false and create your own UI to handle the input e.g. use the RadDatePicker control with validators and pass the input via the report API:
Kind regards,

Telerik.Reporting.Report report = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)this.ReportViewer1.Report;report.ReportParameters["MyParam"].Value = RadDatePicker1.SelectedDate;Kind regards,
