Issue with Calendar Control

Question

Hello, I am using VS 2005 and am making a website. I am using a Calendar control for picking a date. I have a textbox called PurchaseDateTxtBox in which I want a date to show up. This date comes from the PurchaseDate calendar control. When the user clicks a date, I want the date to appear in my text box.

How can make the Calendar control like I've seen on other website where there is a dropdown button next to a textbox and when the user click the dropdown it shows a Calendar from which to choose a date? Is this possible with the built in Calendar control in VS 2005?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

 

I think you can use the Calendar extender in AJAX Control Toolkit to do this:

By the way, for questions related to ASP.NET, it's recommended to use http://forums.asp.net instead. Thanks.

I managed to find a suitable solution online at www.eworldui.net

They have a control kit available for download for free which includes several useful controls such as, calendar popup, masked textbox, masked numeric textbox, list transfer, etc. I am currently using several of these control on my website.
