Hi,

I am facing a problem with CalendarExtender Control. In my web page, I have placed a CalendarExtender Control and associated it with a TextBox. I have kept a Button Control in my page which when click performs a postback. After I click on the TextBox and select the required date, the date appears on the TextBox control. If I click on the Button Control which performs a postback, it works fine.

But, if I set the ReadOnly property to True for the TextBox, on postback, the date that has been selected gets cleared from the TextBox and the CalendarExtender.SelectedDate results to a null value. I want to set the ReadOnly Property of the TextBox to True so that the users of the page doesn't type anything of their own will. I saw that even if the users type anything they want, it pops up with an alert saying that the selected date is of an  unrecognized format. But, I'd like to set the Calendar Associated Textbox as ReadOnly.

 Please Help Me. It's Urgent. Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Thank you for your post!

I am sorry to tell you that a control that is ReadOnly or Disabled won't post its value being changed to the server. 

The workaround is to add a hiddenField, also assign the value of the disabled textbox to the HiddenField via javascript when the postback is starting. Then get the hiddenField's value on server side. 

If you have further questions,let me know.

Best Regards,
