ASP.NET provides calendar control to select date
but some time it not feasible due to the size of
it. It takes more spaces. So we are required
to create a new web control which is used less
space and also provides date selection mechanism
here are the code for that control in C#
HTML CODE:
================================================
<asp:dropdownlist id="cmbDay" AutoPostBack="True"
runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist>
<asp:dropdownlist id="cmbMonth" AutoPostBack="True"
runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist>
<asp:dropdownlist id="cmbYear" AutoPostBack="True"
runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist>
Server Side Code in C#:
====================================================
