asp.net calendar - change date selector control

Question

Can i select the date by clicking the cell of the date instead of the date character? Thanks.

Yes, you can add a "click" event to the cell.

so, assuming this markup for the calendar:

<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" Height="751px" Width="1200px"   
    BorderColor="Black"  
    BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="2px">  
    <DayHeaderStyle Height="40px" />  
    <DayStyle BorderStyle="Solid"  
        BorderColor="Black"  
        BorderWidth="1"  
        HorizontalAlign="Right"  
        VerticalAlign="Top" Height="80px" />  
    <OtherMonthDayStyle BackColor="LightSteelBlue" />  
    <SelectorStyle CssClass="btn-info" />  
    <TitleStyle Height="40px" />  
    <TodayDayStyle BackColor="LightSkyBlue" />  
    <WeekendDayStyle BackColor="Ivory" Height="60px" />  
</asp:Calendar>  

So, now in the day render event, you add this:

Protected Sub Calendar1_DayRender(sender As Object, e As DayRenderEventArgs) Handles Calendar1.DayRender  


    If e.Day.IsSelected Then  
        e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightCoral  
    End If  

    e.Cell.Attributes.Add("OnClick", e.SelectUrl)  


End Sub  

And the day click event (date change), is this:

Protected Sub Calendar1_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Calendar1.SelectionChanged  

    ' day sel  
    Debug.Print(Calendar1.SelectedDate)  

End Sub  

And now the result is this:
