Date picker widget: Create the template of the control

To create the template of the date picker control, perform the following:

  1. In the context menu of the project, click Add » New Item...

    NOTE: Visual Studio does not provide a dialog option to directly create a user control. You must create a file of another type and change its extension.

  2. In the left pane, select Visual C# Items » Code.
  3. Click Code File and in the Name input field, enter DatePickerTemplate.ascx
  4. Open the newly created file and clear its content.
  5. Define the markup.
  6. Save the file.

In the Properties pane of the DatePickerTemplate.ascx file, change the Build Action to Embedded Resource.

GITHUB EXAMPLE: For more information about the content of the file, see the DatePickerTemplate.ascx file of the downloaded sample project.

In the markup, first, you register the necessary assemblies, so that they can be used in the template. You create a RadDatePicker, in which the user selects the date. Then, you create labeled TextBoxes for presenting additional information.

Next, you must reference the template in the date picker control.
