What It Replaces

It replaces a combination of two separate dropdowns (one for month, another for year).

Typical Usage

On reporting pages for listing values/summaries for a given time period.

How It Saves Your Time

• It generates the month list automatically.
• It generates the year list automatically from the YearStart and YearEnd properties.
• It automatically uses the language of current culture.
• You can use it directly to fill parameters of SqlDataSource (the selected month is accessible as both StartDate and EndDate properties).
• It automatically preselects the current month.
• Compatible with UpdatePanel.

Sample 1: Switching the Language

You have two options for choosing the language:

1. Change the Culture in your Page declaration:
   ASP.NET

   <%@ Page Language="C#" … Culture="en-US" %>

2. Set the Culture property of MonthPicker control:
   C#

   MonthPicker1.Culture = "en-US";

Sample 2: SqlDataSource and GridView Integration

DayPilot MonthPicker can be used directly in SqlDataSource declaration:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MonthPicker %>" 
SelectCommand="SELECT [Id], [Name], [Start] FROM [events] _
		WHERE ([Start] >= @Start) AND ([Start] < @End)"> 
    <SelectParameters> 
        <asp:ControlParameter 
    ControlID="MonthPicker1" PropertyName="StartDate"
            Name="Start" Type="DateTime" /> 
        <asp:ControlParameter 
        ControlID="MonthPicker1" PropertyName="EndDate"
            Name="End" Type="DateTime" /> 
    </SelectParameters> 
</asp:SqlDataSource>
