The Calendar control is based on the .NET Framework DateTime object, and you can display any date between the years 0 and 9999 A.D.In the following article you will find that you can utilize the existing control as per you requirement.
In Visual Studio 2005 changing the template is quit easy as compare to MS VS 2003.You can see the templates below:
After selecting the template for calender, editor will generate the following code for you:
<asp:Calendar ID="calSource" runat="server" BackColor="#FFFFCC" BorderColor="#FFCC66" BorderWidth="1px" DayNameFormat="Shortest" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" ForeColor="#663399" Height="200px" ShowGridLines="True" Width="220px" OnSelectionChanged="calSource_SelectionChanged">
<SelectedDayStyle BackColor="#CCCCFF" Font-Bold="True" />
<TodayDayStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" ForeColor="White" />
<SelectorStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />
<OtherMonthDayStyle ForeColor="#CC9966" />
<NextPrevStyle Font-Size="9pt" ForeColor="#FFFFCC" />
<DayHeaderStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" Font-Bold="True" Height="1px" />
<TitleStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="9pt" ForeColor="#FFFFCC" />
</asp:Calendar>
In the same way add other controls also
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpMonthCal" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="drpCalMonth_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="101px">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="drpYearCal" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="drpCalYear_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="104px">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Label ID="lblDate" runat="server" Text="Label" Width="390px"></asp:Label>
Now you are ready with the web page.So you can start with the implementation.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Hide the title of the calendar control
calSource.ShowTitle = false;
//Populate month and year dropdown list boxes which

Thanks for your help my chum. i solved my problem after 3 hours net browsing, But no need to add dropdowns for change month/year. instead we can hide Title and we can add our own html row with controls (buttons) as same as calendar control header

Clicking on the calendar.zip file does not provide the source, but only the solution files. Can you please re-up the zip file? Thank you!

It works like a charme. Now I just wish I could get it to work when putting it inside my templatefields. But a very nice function, that should have been in the package from the start.

Hi there, a little help if you are not too busy. I am using your calendar control example post on this site. It works fine. However, I have create a couple of panels that hide and show the control base on a users click. When I click a image (image button control) I hide the button and display the calendar panel, which includes your example. I then make my selections and pick my date, on the selected index changed events, I populate the dob txt box, hide the calendar control and display the image button again. All is well until I click on the image button again. When I do this, I get the following error message: Cannot have multiple items selected in a DropDownList. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Cannot have multiple items selected in a DropDownList. Could you shed any light on why this is happening please, I am using VS2005/ASP.NET 2.0 regards, Wayne
