I have a text box and a ajax calender in my project as below:

XML

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDOB" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                <cc1:CalendarExtender ID="DOBCalendarExtender" TargetControlID="txtDOB" runat="server"
                    Format= "<%# DisplayUserDateFormat()%>" PopupButtonID="DOBImageButton" OnClientDateSelectionChanged="checkDate">
                </cc1:CalendarExtender>

and I have defined the method "DisplayUserDateFormat" in the corresponding .cs file as below:

C#

public string DisplayUserDateFormat()
    {
        String strDob = "dd-MMM-yyyy";
        return strDob ;
    }

But, when I set a breakpoint on this method, it is not getting called.
Can anyone tell me why it is happening?

No, this is not working.

Solution 2

Sorry, "<%=DisplayUserDateFormat()%>" only works with non-server tags.

You have to use PageMethods to do what you want.

You're using databinding syntax...are you actually calling Databind() in your page?

I usually do it on the PreRender event.

Please can you try using Format= '<%# DisplayUserDateFormat()%>' instead of Format= "<%# DisplayUserDateFormat()%>"

You can simply change the format in server side (.cs file)

DOBCalendarExtender.Format = DisplayUserDateFormat();
