Hi all,

I have implemented dnn 6.2.1 on a site and am working with the UX guidelines in trying to implement the datepicker.

1. Use:

<dnn:Label runat="server" ID="lb_DateOfBirth" ResourceKey="lb_DateOfBirth" />
        <dnn:DnnDatePicker runat="server" MaxLength="256" CssClass="dnnFormRequired"/>

Error:

"Error Creating Control - dnn:dnndatepickerUnable to create type 'dnn:DnnDatePicker'. Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2012.1.411.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."  Not display control in file ascx.

2.Use:

 <div class="dnnFormItem">
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="dnnFormLabel" AssociatedControlID="StartDatePicker" Text="Pick a date" />
            <dnn:DnnDatePicker runat="server" CssClass="dnnFormInput" ID="StartDatePicker" />
    </div>

Error    1    The type or namespace name 'Web' does not exist in the namespace 'DotNetNuke' (are you missing an assembly reference?)    D:\xxx\Modules\NHM_Users\ViewNHM_Users.ascx.designer.cs    220    38

"protected global::DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnDatePicker StartDatePicker;"

Assuming you're using Visual Studio for your development; did you correctly reference DotNetNuke.dll, DotNetNuke.Web.dll and Telerik.Web.UI.dll into your project, and did you correctly 'register' them in your .ascx-file (thus using the right register-directives)?

You should reference those DLL's, set 'Copy local' to 'false' for those references and make sure that your module's DLL is built into DNN's bin/-directory.

It appears some elements aren't beïng closed correctly in your ASCX/HTML-markup. Or did that happen during copypasting? Other than that I don't see why the DnnDatePicker wouldn't work..

How is the 'DateOfBirth'-DnnDatePicker beïng declared in your designer file? And does your project build into a DLL correctly?

You -could- try removing the 'MinDate'-attribute, though I don't think that will be the cause of the problem; only if it happens to not accept the "dd/MM/yyyy"-format you use to set it.
