When developing enterprise ASP.NET applications it is common torequire the input of dates. The two solutions provided by .NET and Visual Studio outof the box; using a textbox with validation and using a calendar control, are bothflawed. A textbox leaves too much scope for the user to make a mistake with dataentry. Should the 15th of January be written '15/1/06', '15/01/06', '15/01/2006', or'1/15/06'? Some users need to have a calendar to allow them to pick the correct datewithout regard to formatting.
However, for power users this can become much to slow, and the calendar controlconsumes too much precious screen realestate. The power user is capable of learingthe acceptable date formats and would prefer to be able to enter the date in atextbox. This is also good for data entry, where the user does not want to have toleave the keyboard to use the mouse to pick a date.
What is needed is a custom control to combine the best of both worlds. It must allowpower users to type a date in a textbox, and it must allow other users to select adate using a calendar control. Most importantly, it should seemlessly allow users toemploy a combination of these two approaches.
The Eclipse Web Solutions ASP.NET DatePicker control combines a textbox and acalendar, to support both novice and power users. If the user expands the calendarit displays on a higher layer, so it does not affect the layout of the page. Thecontrol features inbuilt automatic validation and is amazingly simple to use. Italso works seemlessly with Microsoft AJAX.
