Question

Is it possible to add a DropDownList inside a calendar day for the asp.net Calendar control and then to bind it to a SelectedIndexChanged event?

I can add the DropDownList inside the day I want, but I’ve been unable to bind it to the event. I’ve seen it done for a LinkButton inside a Calendar control, but nothing for a DropDownList.

you can do it like this way also. take your data into one object variable and then convert its data into select tag(Dropdown list tag in html) and then add that control in your day of calendar.

protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    stringBuilder matrix = new stringBuilder();
    var SemList = (from row in dt.AsEnumerable()                                    
                  select new
                  {
                   SemName = row.Field<string>("SemName"),
                   SemID = row.Field<string>("SemID")
                  });

    if (SemList != null)
    {
        Matrix.Append("<select ID='sem_" + dt.Rows[k]["ActualCMID"].ToString() + "' runat='server' width='100px' onchange='" + Server.HtmlEncode("javascript:BindSpecialization('" + dv.ToTable().Rows[k]["ActualCMID"].ToString() + "')").ToString() + "'>");
        Matrix.Append("<option value='0'>---Select---</option>");
        foreach (var sem in SemList)
        {
           Matrix.Append("<option value='" + sem.SemID + "'>" + sem.SemName + "</option>");
        }
        Matrix.Append("</select>");
    }
    e.Cell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(Matrix.ToString()));
}

I hope it will helpful to you.
