Date Picker and Atlas

If you already download ATLAS control extender, your problem already solved in Pop Up control sample...

Hi emerbrito,

NOTE: BDPLite and Basic Date Picker have been updated to work seemlessly with Atlas and other AJAX Frameworks, avoiding the workarounds detailed below. You can download the latest installer fromhttp://www.basicdatepicker.com/download/[Updated 7-Sep-2006]

The issues you are experiencing are probably related to how the Controls require access to the Page in order to write <script> blocks.

On an AJAX callback your code-behind has access to the Page object, although any changes to the Page are not brought back and the page outside of the UpdatePanel is not updated. The date pickers are probably working fine and updating the Page by registering various <script> blocks,BUT the updates are not written back to the Page by ATLAS. That is a big BUT.

There are simple work arounds. I can not speak for the other date picker controls, but to get Basic Date Picker working within an AJAX control youmay have to place a few <script> blocks manually.

We've had several customers request support with ATLAS/AJAX callback limitations and we have a good thread discussing the issues and workarounds. Seehttp://forums.basicdatepicker.com/forums/thread/589.aspx

I can not say 100% for sure the workarounds discussed in the post above will work for the other date pickers or dhtml calendars, but we have created several AJAX projects and many customers are now using Basic Date Picker within their ATLAS applications.

Installing the latest build (v1.2.2368) of BDP will help as we've made several recent updates to ease AJAX integration. Seehttp://www.basicdatepicker.com/download/downloadproduct.aspx

We're more than happy to provide technical support if you just can't get it working. Please send an email tosupport@.basicdatepicker.com with any questions or comments and we will do our best to help out.

Hope this helps.

I have been through the same thing. I have tried using each update of infragistics without luck. The GMDatePicker has potential but causes other issues. There is a product out that I have had success with,http://www.telerik.com/ r.a.d controls.
That pop up extender is awesome, but will not work when textbox and calendar control are both in an UpadatePanel. The Atlas team is aware of this and trying to fix it. Any work arounds?
Hi emerbrito,

We have just released a new build of BasicDatePicker and BDPLite which includes full support for Atlas.

You can download the latest build (v1.2.2411) directly from our website athttp://www.basicdatepicker.com/download/downloadproduct.aspx

The following sample demonstrates how to use Atlas and the date pickers while databinding to a GridView and FormView control. Seehttp://atlas.samples.basicdatepicker.com/formview.aspx

If you have any problems using our controls on an Atlas project, please feel free tocontact us and we will do our very best to help out.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for the great news!!!
Eclipse Web Solutions have published a simpleDatePicker component that is designed to work within an UpdatePanel. It is very easy to use. I would love to hear some feedback.
