Asp.Net Calender, how to display 5 lines if there are only 5 lines in one month?

[Jack]

To whom may concern:


In Asp.Net Calender control, how to display 5 lines if there are only 5
lines in one month? Now there are 6 lines even that I don't show the
data in other months.

Thanks in advance!

All months which begin on a Friday or a Saturday
need to display 6 lines, because there's 4 complete
weeks and 2 partial weeks in them.

To display a calendar so that the months which *can* display in
5 lines (the months which start on Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed or Thu)
do display in 5 lines, set the ForeColor and BackColor properties
for the "OtherMonthDay Style" to white.

<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" OtherMonthDayStyle-BackColor="White"
OtherMonthDayStyle-ForeColor="White"></asp:Calendar>

If you have set the Calendar's BackColor to any other color
but white, set the "OtherMonthDay Style" to whatever BackColor
you set the Calendar's BackColor to.

Hi, Juan:

It works if I set ShowGridLines = False, but not if ShowGridLines =
True.

 

[Juan T. Llibre]

Hmmm...that's odd but, if that what it takes, fine.

See the calendar at :

http://asp.net.do/calendario/Calendario.aspx

It's created with only :

<asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" OtherMonthDayStyle-BackColor="White"
OtherMonthDayStyle-ForeColor="White"></asp:Calendar>

I didn't set ShowGridLines = False ... but it works.

In any case, I'm glad it's working, Jack.

Yes, I know your solution, but my customer need GridLine.

 

[Juan T. Llibre]

I guess you'll have to write a Calendar of your own, then.

Why would your customer require gridlines ?

Talk your customer out of that.
It's not like gridlines are very functional, anyway.

, in fact, I think Calender with GridLine is more beautiful than the
one without GridLine.

 

[Juan T. Llibre]

But not if it displays unneeded lines, right ?

Yes, that's true, but that's why I post here.
If you can tell me how to custom Calendar, that's better.

Which method or event in Calendar shall I override?
