How do I get to choose year and month along with date in SSRS Date Picker (Calendar) Control?

Question

I see the date picker (calendar) control on my report giving out an option to pick dates as parameters for a report. However if the user want to select an older date (01/01/2000) through calendar, he/she has to scroll back month at a time all the way to Jan 2000 month to select 1st date. Is there a way to incorporate year and month picker into the control?

Thanks.

To my knowledge, this is not possible using the default control.

I believe you could create a custom report i.e. by creating an ASP.net application for example and embedding the Report Viewer Control. You could then create a custom implementation of a calendar/date picker component in order to have more refined control over the behaviour.

I also believe Dundas have a custom Calendar control for Reporting Services
