Hi,
I am using an eo calendar control, and am trying to highlight specific dates that are stored in a datatable. When one of these specific dates matches the current day, the code renders a label. However, I am finding that when there is more than 2 rows in the datatable, duplicate numbers appear for each day. eg. 1st appears as '11', 2nd appears as '22', 24th appears as '2424' etc.

Is there a way to clear this, so dates appear correctly?

Here is sample code...

Code: Visual Basic.NET
Sub calDRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EO.Web.DayRenderEventArgs)
        Dim lbl As New Label
        Dim dtRow As DataRow
        Dim dayDate As DateTime
        
        'If the month is CurrentMonth
        If Not e.Day.IsOtherMonth Then
            For Each dtRow In dtCAP.Rows
                If IsDate(dtRow.Item(0)) Then
                    dayDate = dtRow.Item(0)
                    If dayDate = e.Day.Date Then
                        lbl.Height = "16"
                        lbl.Width = "28"
                        lbl.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed
                        lbl.ForeColor = Color.White
                        lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                        lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                    Else
                        lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black
                        lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                        lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                    End If
                Else
                    lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black
                    lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                    lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                End If
            Next
        End If
    End Sub

Hi,

We tried similar code at here and it works fine:

Code: Visual Basic.NET
Sub calDRender(
    ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EO.Web.DayRenderEventArgs)
    Dim lbl As New Label
    lbl.Height = "16"
    lblWidth = "28"
    lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
    lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
End Sub


Can you try that and see if it works? You may want to try that in a blank page first.

Thanks

Tried this in a new page, without the database connectivity, and still getting the same result (duplicated day numbers for each day). If you rem out the second date (dtRow = dtCAP.Rows.Add(dteDate2)), it works okay.

Code: Visual Basic.NET
<%@ Page Language="VB"  %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.Common" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>

<script language="VB" runat=server>
    Dim dtColumn As DataColumn
    Dim dtRow As DataRow
    Dim dtCAP As New DataTable
    Dim dteDate As DateTime = "2007-07-05"
    Dim dteDate2 As DateTime = "2007-07-12"
    
    Sub Page_Load(ByVal Source As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
        dtCAP.Clear()
        dtColumn = New DataColumn("Start", GetType(String))
        dtColumn.Caption = "Start Date"
        
        dtCAP.Columns.Add(dtColumn)
        
        dtRow = dtCAP.Rows.Add(dteDate)
        dtRow = dtCAP.Rows.Add(dteDate2)
    End Sub
    
    Sub calDRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EO.Web.DayRenderEventArgs)
        Dim lbl As New Label
        Dim dayDate As DateTime
        Dim strCAPNo As String = ""
        
        'If the month is CurrentMonth
        If Not e.Day.IsOtherMonth Then
            For Each dtRow In dtCAP.Rows
                If IsDate(dtRow.Item(0)) Then
                    dayDate = dtRow.Item(0)
                    If dayDate = e.Day.Date Then
                        lbl.Height = "16"
                        lbl.Width = "28"
                        lbl.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed
                        lbl.ForeColor = Color.White
                        lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                        lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                    Else
                        lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black
                        lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                        lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                    End If
                End If
            Next

Of course. :) When you have two rows in dtCAP and you are looping through all rows inside calDRender, it's obviously that the following code will be called twice:

Code: Visual Basic.NET
lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)


So the root of the problem is that your code is rendering the same day twice.

All I am trying to do is highlight a variable amount of dates on the eo Calendar control, that are stored in a datatable. Are you able to offer an alternative method? I have done this with the standard asp.net calendar control, using an arraylist of dates (see sample below) - but your control works differently. Thanks in advance.

Code: Visual Basic.NET
Sub calDRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DayRenderEventArgs)
		
		'If the month is CurrentMonth
		If Not e.Day.IsOtherMonth Then
	
			' EVENTS
			Dim dtEvent as DateTime 
			For i = 0 To aryEventDates.Count - 1
				if isDate(aryEventDates.Item(i)) then
					dtEvent = Convert.ToDateTime(aryEventDates.Item(i))
					if aryEventDates.Item(i) = e.Day.Date then
						e.Cell.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed
						e.Cell.ToolTip = aryEventName(i).ToString
					else
						e.Day.IsSelectable = False
					end if
				end if
			Next

Try change this:

Code: Visual Basic.NET
If Not e.Day.IsOtherMonth Then
    For Each dtRow In dtCAP.Rows
        If IsDate(dtRow.Item(0)) Then
            dayDate = dtRow.Item(0)
            If dayDate = e.Day.Date Then
                lbl.Height = "16"
                lbl.Width = "28"
                lbl.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed
                lbl.ForeColor = Color.White
                lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
            Else
                lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black
                lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
            End If
        End If
    Next
End If


To this:
Code: Visual Basic.NET
If Not e.Day.IsOtherMonth Then
    For Each dtRow In dtCAP.Rows
        If IsDate(dtRow.Item(0)) Then
            dayDate = dtRow.Item(0)
            If dayDate = e.Day.Date Then
                lbl.Height = "16"
                lbl.Width = "28"
                lbl.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed
                lbl.ForeColor = Color.White
                lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
                lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
    Next

    lbl.ForeColor = Color.Black
    lbl.Text = e.Day.DayNumberText
    lbl.RenderControl(e.Writer)
End If
