show events when click on the date

[Y L]

Hello,

I'm working on a page that has a RadCanlendar control. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the date, if it has events on that day, the RadGrid that contains the detailed information of the events will display.   Now I don't know how to pass the value of the selected date to the grid.

Can anyone give me some idea? Many thanks !

Hi Y L,

You could try the following approach:

On RadCalendar.SelectionChanged event handler you could get the selected date form the calendar and add the date into the Session variable. Then you could call RadGrid.Rebind() method:

void RadCalendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.Calendar.SelectedDatesEventArgs e)
{
     SelectedDate = e.SelectedDates[0].Date;
     RadGrid1.Rebind();
}

The Rebind() method will force the RadGrid to fire its NeedDataSource event. Into the RadGrid.NeedDataSource event handler you could get from the database the events which is related for the selected date from the Session variable:

public DateTime SelectedDate
{
     get
     {
         return (DateTime)Session["EventDatetime"];
     }
     set
     {
         Session["EventDatetime"] = value;
     }
}

void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    if (SelectedDate != null)
    {
        DataTable table = // get events by SelectedData
        RadGrid1.DataSource = table;
    }
}

Additionally I am sending you a simple example which demonstrates the desired functionality.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
