is it possible to do this dynamically.
E.g.
Dim dp As New EO.Web.DatePicker
Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter(sb)
Dim w As New HtmlTextWriter(sw)
dp.ID = "TEST"
dp.RenderControl(w) 'CRASHES HERE
Response.Write(sb.ToString())
crashes with...
Server Error in '/TestFirewall' Application.

Hi,
DatePicker requires a Page, a server form and full life cycle to work properly. This is necessary for the DatePicker because it may not render all output at one place. For example, while it renders HTML inside the document body, it also renders some style block into the page header. So if you wish to render the DatePicker, you will need to place it in the page. You can dynamically set its Visible to true or false to control whether you the DatePicker is shown or not.
Thanks!
