Selected date as parameter for ObjectDataSource

[Lars Meyer]

Is it possible to use the SelectedDate in RadCalendar as a parameter for  an ObjectDataSource? I wish to filter the records shown on my page, based on the date the user picks in the calendar, or is there another way to do this? I can't seem to find any examples on this...

Hello Lars,

Attached is a sample project demonstrating how to achieve the desired functionality. After choosing a date from the calendar the grid will be rebound with data based on the selected date.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

I need to set the select parameters for the ObjectDataSource programmatically, but when I try this, the grid is not updated when I hit a date in the Calendar.

	protected void Select(object sender, ObjectDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)
	{
	e.InputParameters["selectedDate"] = RadCalendar1.SelectedDate;
	}

I commented out the <SelectParameters> section in the .aspx page.

Is this not possible?

Hello Lars,

Declaring your parameters programmatically would require to rebind the grid manually every time RadCalendar1.SelectionChanged event fires:

protected void RadCalendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDatesEventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.Rebind();
    }

I hope this helps.
