ASP.Net Ajax Creating Multiple Calendar Extenders on TextBoxes Programmatically

A web app having multiple Textboxes and Date Pickers or Calendar Extenders are very common.
Usually a page for submitting more than one rows which include Date field.

If Textboxes with attached Calender depends on some logic then we need to create them programmatically.

I will show how to do it using Asp.Net Ajax Control Toolkit Calendar Extender as Date picker control. I also used the simple ‘Northwind’ sample Database for demo purpose.

This small application will show Employees Name, Title and Hire Date info. Hire Date can be choose using calendar extender & updated.

1. Creating multiple TextBoxes and Calendar Extenders programmatically

   ...
   <form id="form1" runat="server">
       <div>
           <asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
           </asp:ToolkitScriptManager>
           <asp:UpdatePanel ID="updpanel" runat="server">
           <ContentTemplate>
              
               <asp:Table ID="tblinput" runat="server" >
                   <asp:TableHeaderRow ID="TableHeaderRow1" runat="server" Font-Names="Calibri" Font-Size="10pt">
                       
                       <asp:TableHeaderCell>ID</asp:TableHeaderCell>
                       <asp:TableHeaderCell>Name</asp:TableHeaderCell>
                       <asp:TableHeaderCell>Title</asp:TableHeaderCell>
                       <asp:TableHeaderCell>Hire Date</asp:TableHeaderCell>
                   </asp:TableHeaderRow>
                   
               </asp:Table>
              
               <asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
               <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" 
                   onclick="btnSubmit_Click" />  <asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server"></asp:Label>
               
           </ContentTemplate>
           </asp:UpdatePanel>
       </div>
       </form>
   ...
   

   I have Table Control as container of Labels & TextBoxes. Also PlaceHolder control that will be contained by AjaxControlToolkit Calendar Extender.

   Labels, TextBoxes and Calendar Extender created programmatically inside Page_Load procedure.

Scheduling Excel Report With SSRS 2008 R2 And ASP.Net

As default SQL Server Reporting Service 2008 R2 has Scheduled Report Generation named Subscription. You can choose what report and when to generate it also delivery method.

However this feature is quite standard. We must supply report’s Parameter manually to Subscription. So that in this blog I will show you how to make more flexible to this kind of schedule using Visual Basic Asp.Net

The generated report will be on Excel format.

Here are step by step:

1. Prepare the report you want to sent and deploy Report Server
2. Browse the report via http://Your_serverip/ReportServer and get its exact Url for example http://Your_serverip/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fYour_Report_Name&rs:Command=Render
