I'm looking to determine if I'm going to use the calendar control that's out-of-the-box in ASP.NET 4 or if I should look elsewhere, may be a jQuery calendar that just receives json or another .net server option.
Has anyone worked with the native calendar control?
Thanks.
I personally like Rick Strahl's implementation of the [link text][jQuery Date Picker] for ASP.Net. I used the one at http://www.eworldui.net/ prior to discovering the West Wind date picker, and will never go back.
I personally do not like asp.net native calendar control due to lack of extensibility. I would create a JQuery control since it will be more responsive(client-side).
Or take a look here: http://www.eworldui.net/

I want to create my own datepickar control(or dll),so can use it another project.How to create that?
Why create such a thing for yourself and invest a lot of time investigating, fixing problems, providing support, ... for it?
There are a bunch of such controls available which can be found with a simple search via your preferred search engine.
For ASP.NET I would suggest to either buy a 3rd party control from a well known vendor or take a look at the following:
jQuery UI Datepicker
ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit Calendar control
If you're using ASP.NET 4.0 or above, I'd suggest using the Bootstrap datepicker to keep your application looking consistent.
You can find the Bootstrap datepicker here: https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
I'm developing a website (ASP.net) which involves users typing in a textbox to search. I want to display result in the textbox as they are typing the keywords (just like when we are searching on Google).
How can I do this?
Thanks
What you ask is called autocomplete and since you are working on asp.net the most easy direct solution is the use of asp.net ajax control toolkit
http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/AutoComplete/AutoComplete.aspx
How ever if you use some other javascript helper library, like jQuery, you can find a lot more examples, one of them : jQuery Autocomplete and ASP.NET
Also if you search for "autocomplete asp.net" you find more examples, some of them:

I am writing a website in asp.net and looking for a control in which I can show a simple but very good looking calender.
The calender shoud show different events with a timestamp on it and additional informations (e.g.: 20 persons registered).
On a click on the event it should show the details.
All this must be read out of a database.
Any ideas?
The Telerik RadScheduler comes to mind, but is paid: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx
For free there is FullCalendar for JQuery: http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/
DHTMLX Scheduler .NET is also an option. Check this demo, it looks good http://scheduler-net.com/demo.aspx
I'm going to start working on project developed in ASP.NET.
In this project I need to show the data in a month calender like Google's calendar or something like that.
So my question is:
Is there any control I can use to do this thing?
If not, what do you suggest?
There's the Calendar control in ASP.NET which offers some basic functionality that you may take a look at. There's also a calendar extension in the AJAX Control Toolkit.
I can't seem to get the jQuery.ajax() function posting back any of my asp.net generated form controls.
I've put a break point on the server side and there aren't any values.
Is there a way around this or do I have to build up a list of what I want sent back?
Another question slightly off topic, but it seems that although jQuery is a great JS library, it doesn't seem to integrate too well with .net.
Has anyone given up with jQuery to perform server side interaction and just gone with ms ajax implementation?
The reason for this is because asp.net webforms doesn't use a normal post (ie. with an input/submit button). if you take a look at how those are posted, there is some javascript handler that ends up calling a built-in function that asp.net writes out to the page called __doPostBack.
Check out this other stackoverflow answer that might give you additional clues:
Jquery asp.net Button Click Event via ajax
To your second question, once you work out a few of the kinks, jQuery is a fantastic lib that has a ton of support and reference material both on the web and in books. Keep at it and you won't regret it :-)
