I’m working in C# / ASP.NET 3.5 and want to enable users to enter their date-of-birth. I’ve tried the asp:Calendar web control for this, and also considered using the jQuery-UI datepicker, and reviewed suggestions from this question.
All those options don’t seem to have the “mode” I want though. I do not want an actual calendar to pop up, but just a Day/Month/Year dropdown. My requirements:
- Just three dropdowns, for day/month/year
- Ability to set a min and max year
- Client side solution for helping pick a valid date (so don’t allow 30 + February)
- Nice to have: culture based position switch for day/month and month/day
Can anyone suggest such a control? Or should I just move on and build it myself?
Jeroen, there is no built in control.
The simple way to do this is add 3 drop down lists and add all months / years (Those are the simple ones). Days change, so either you can statically add 31 and do some checking, or use a database that holds a bunch of dates and use that as the datasource.
