If for some reason the date picker component icons do not get installed to your Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer Express Toolbox when you run the .msi installer, they're easy to install manually. Steps:
- Open Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer
- Open an .aspx page
- Open the ToolBox panel. Typically located on the left side in a fly-out panel (Ctrl + Alt + x).
- If a "Basic Date Picker" Tab has already been created, click to slide open. If the "Basic Date Picker" Tab was not created during the installation process, you can create now.
- Right-Click in the ToolBox area.
- Select "Add Tab".
- Enter "Basic Date Picker".
- Inside the "Basic Date Picker" tab, Right-Click and select "Choose Item..." ("Add/Remove Items..." in Visual Studio .NET 2003).
- Under the ".NET Framework Components" Tab select the "Browse" button.
- Navigate to and select the following .dll file on your file system, choose open.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Basic Date Picker\DateTime Suite\1_3_3\BasicFrame.WebControls.BasicDatePicker.dll
NOTE: The "1_3_3" above is the version number and may vary.
- The component items should be added to the list and pre-checked. You can confirm by sorting the list by "Namespace" and scrolling to "BasicFrame.WebControls"
- Click "OK". The icons should be added to your ToolBox. You should now be able to drag/drop a date picker onto your WebForm.
NOTE: You can also drag and drop the icons between tabs to reorder if desired.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Geoffrey McGill
