Using DatePicker Control in my webform,

(1) in the dropdown portion, how to switch (that is using mouse only) to different years quickly?
Currently it seems the only way to switch to other year is clicking thru each month till reaching the target year.

(2) in the textbox portion, if I just simply put the datepicker markup in my aspx,
then at runtime, the textbox content is blank (' / / ').
So, I must remember to set its initial value to current date, like this:
if(!IsPostBack)
DatePicker1.SelectedDate=DateTime.Now;
How to configure so that the datepicker control will initially fill its textbox portion with current date?

Thanks for clear response.

And, for (2), hope you can consider adding the feature in the near future release.

You could use Calender, TextBox and Button control to achieve the datepicker effect.

First, set the calender to invisible.

Then in the button click event to make the calender visible.

And in the calender's SelectionChanged event to get the selected date.

Here is a simple demo and hope this will be helpfu to you.

.aspx

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" Visible="false" OnSelectionChanged="Calendar1_SelectionChanged"></asp:Calendar>
</div>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="GetDate" OnClick="Button1_Click"/>

</form>
code-behind.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, 2023 calendar printable EventArgs e)
{
Calendar1.Visible = true;
}

protected void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
Calendar1.Visible = false;
}
result:
