+5 Q:

Good date-picker for ASP.NET

I have always been a very big fan of the DHTML calendar http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/

I was planning on using this for an upcoming project in ASP.NET, but I wouldn't mind finding a new calendar control that is specifically made as a ASP.NET user control.

Does anyone know of some good ones out there that I should check out?

Thanks.

+2 A:

I'm using Calendar from AJAX.NET with some custom tweaks (for example to correctly handle time) and Telerik's RadCalendar control, which is really nice (but not free).

the ajax.net calendar supports time?

It does in a way that you can select the date on the screen and after it enter the date manually. However there is a small problem to set the time because by default it handles only date. If you are interested, I can put the code to the net.

This one is free and I used it before I had a Telerik or DevExpress subscription.

Also if you use jQuery there a few very well done date pickers.

JQuery UI has a nice calendar/datepicker worth taking a look at. And most of all its FREE! click here

Thanks all for the suggestions. I really like the simpliciy of the JQuery one, so I'll most likely end up using it.

The component are nice but I've found on several occasions that I like using jQuery because it's cleaner and you have better control. Especially for something simple like a date picker.

Hi,

i have (besides the great JQuery UI) two other options:

Ajax Control Toolkit (from codeplex.com): great, free, but no support for IE6 iFrame overlay bug
oBout Calendar (http://www.obout.com/calendar/calendar_home.aspx): not free, but handles the IE6 Bug, and also has a nice "Airplane" mode, where two Calenders work together (Start/End Date)

regards Christoph

For really comprehensive set of date related components check out Peters Blums stuff at http://www.peterblum.com/DES/DateAndTime.aspx we have used these for years

It's not free, but the Telerik DateTimePicker went over well with my team.
