Hi.

You will want to use the Calendar Extender control in the Ajax toolkit.

Basically, You have a textbox. When the user clicks on the textbox, they get a nice little javascript popup that allows easy selection of a date. The end result is a string that gets saved in the textbox.

You can convert this to a datetime by: MyDateTime = datetime.parse(MyTextBox.text)
