this is my Signature If i understand you correctly..
You need to implement a Persian Calendar type (that does not exist in SharePoint OOTB) and you want to develop one?
As i read trough that links, my understanding is that the blogger of this site http://www.tabatabaei.info/ created a persian calendar..
Why don't you drop him an email or a comment on his blog about the project..
Daniel Bugday™ Web: © SharePoint Forum Blog: Daniel Bugday's Blog- Why don't you drop him an email or a comment on his blog about the project..
because he want to sale (expensively), i want to develop iy myself.
Anyway, i search about this feature in my sharepoint configuration path (C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\*) very much. i found some xml files and aspx files in that.
C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\CONFIG :
Regional Setting : RGNLDFLT.XML
Time Zone : TIMEZONE.XML
C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS :
regionalsetng.aspx
C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\Publishing :
RegionalSettingsExtensions.xml
i tried to open RGNLDFLT.XML file in visual studio, it have a definition like this :1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 2 <RegionalSettings> 3 <LangIDDefaults> 4 <liddefault lid="1078" caltype="1" tzid="50" time24="0" currencylid="7177" isrtl="0" iseastasia="0"/> 5 </LangIDDefaults> 6 </RegionalSettings>
as you can see, each liddefault tag has a lid,caltype,tzid,... . the tzid is TimeZone and locate in TIMEZONE.XML, but i don't know where does caltype, i searched for it many times, but i can't find anything.
also i tries to open regionalsetng.aspx that display a webpage for regional setting in sharepoint, in the source i found this tag :1 <Template_InputFormControls> 2 <wssuc:InputFormControl LabelText="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_calender_label%>" LabelAssociatedControlID="DdlwebCalType" runat="server"> 3 <Template_Control> 4 <asp:DropDownList ID="DdlwebCalTypeWithROC" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DdlwebCalTypeWithROCIndex_Changed" AutoPostBack="true" Runat="server"> 5 <asp:ListItem Selected Value="1" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_STR%>" /> 6 <asp:ListItem Value="3" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_JAPAN_STR%>"/> 7 <asp:ListItem Value="4" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_TAIWAN_STR%>"/> 8 <asp:ListItem Value="5" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_KOREA_STR%>"/> 9 <asp:ListItem Value="6" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_HIJRI_STR%>" /> 10 <asp:ListItem Value="7" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_THAI_STR%>" /> 11 <asp:ListItem Value="8" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_HEBREW_STR%>" /> 12 <asp:ListItem Value="9" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_ME_FRENCH_STR%>"/> 13 <asp:ListItem Value="10" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_ARABIC_STR%>" /> 14 <asp:ListItem Value="11" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_XLIT_ENGLISH_STR%>" /> 15 <asp:ListItem Value="12" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_XLIT_FRENCH_STR%>" /> 16 <asp:ListItem Value="16" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_SAKA_STR%>" /> 17 </asp:DropDownList> 18 <asp:DropDownList ID="DdlwebCalType" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DdlwebCalTypeIndex_Changed" AutoPostBack="true" Runat="server" Visible="false"> 19 <asp:ListItem Selected Value="1" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_STR%>" /> 20 <asp:ListItem Value="3" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_JAPAN_STR%>"/> 21 <asp:ListItem Value="5" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_KOREA_STR%>"/> 22 <asp:ListItem Value="6" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_HIJRI_STR%>" /> 23 <asp:ListItem Value="7" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_THAI_STR%>" /> 24 <asp:ListItem Value="8" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_HEBREW_STR%>" /> 25 <asp:ListItem Value="9" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_ME_FRENCH_STR%>"/> 26 <asp:ListItem Value="10" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_ARABIC_STR%>" /> 27 <asp:ListItem Value="11" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_XLIT_ENGLISH_STR%>" /> 28 <asp:ListItem Value="12" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_GREGORIAN_XLIT_FRENCH_STR%>" /> 29 <asp:ListItem Value="16" text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_CAL_SAKA_STR%>" /> 30 </asp:DropDownList> 31 </Template_Control> 32 </wssuc:InputFormControl> 33 <wssuc:InputFormControl runat="server"> 34 <Template_Control> 35 <asp:CheckBox ID="ChkShowWeekNumber" Text="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_showweeknumber_label%>" runat="server" /> 36 </Template_Control> 37 </wssuc:InputFormControl> 38 <asp:PlaceHolder ID="PanelAdvanceHijri" Runat="server"> 39 <wssuc:InputFormControl LabelText="<%$Resources:wss,regionalsetng_hijri_label%>" LabelAssociatedControlID="DdlwebHijriDays" runat="server"> 40 <Template_Control> 41 <asp:DropDownList ID="DdlwebHijriDays" Runat="server"> 42 <asp:ListItem Value="-2">-2</asp:ListItem> 43 <asp:ListItem Value="-1">-1</asp:ListItem> 44 <asp:ListItem Selected Value="0">0</asp:ListItem> 45 <asp:ListItem Value="1">+1</asp:ListItem> 46 <asp:ListItem Value="2">+2</asp:ListItem> 47 </asp:DropDownList> 48 </Template_Control> 49 </wssuc:InputFormControl> 50 </asp:PlaceHolder> 51 </Template_InputFormControls>
i think it bind to a dataSource to retrieve Calender Type from it (probabely Resources), i tried to find Resources, but i could'nt find it.
do you think that i must to add my Persian Calender to it's dataSource ? if so, how to do ?
any help would be appreciated.
this is my Signature Don't know if this post should now be moved to the dev. or programming forum (as the developers are in there).
-The Caltype attribute specifies the calendar type (there is non for persian).
Field Element (List - Definition):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms437580.aspx
When you say also i tries to open regionalsetng.aspx that display a webpage for regional setting in sharepoint, in the source i found this tag
-which tag are you talking about?
Resources is a special folder located in C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12 ("hive 12"), and is used for localization.
do you think that i must to add my Persian Calender to it's dataSource ?
-Not sure what you mean here..
Hope this helps,

i think i must add my calender type to wss.resx and modify regionalsetng.aspx to load it from wss.xml resource (it placed in C:\ProgramFiles\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\CONFIG)
but when i do this, Regional Setting Page direct to Error page, when i undo my changes, it works.
the another problem is that how to access behind code file for regionalsetng.aspx (probabely regionalsetng.aspx.cs) ?
(i must read DdlwebCalTypeWithROCIndex_Changed and DdlwebCalTypeIndex_Changed event handlers for review codes, maybe i can find which class or assembly hold information about calender type in sharepoint), what about you ?
