Creating a Custom Web DatePicker Control

[Anthony]

Hello All,
I'm in the midst of creating a web version of the DatePicker control. I
have a textbox, image button and a calendar control. I'm having some issues
exposing the click event of the image button so that I can show and hide
the calendar. Any help?

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Is there some reason you're not using the ASP.NET Calendar Web server control?

Sorry. I didn't read your first post carefully enough the first time through.

Can you explain the issues and post the code you're having problems with?

Anthony,
What kind of issues are you having? VB.NET or C#?

Generally you need to handle the event of the image button, then raise the
event of your control...

Have you seen the 'DateBox' control that Dino Esposito did in his "Building
Web Solution with ASP.NET and ADO.NET" book from MS Press? It is similiar to
the control you are writing...

I don't see the DateBox listed in his Cutting Edge column:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/fi...utting%20Edge:

A lot of the book is from the column, but not all of the book! ;-)

Hope this helps
Jay

Constance,
Thank you for your help! I have ended up solving the problem by creating
a composite control. It works great.
