Using TemplateFields in the GridView Control:
Step 3-Using the Calendar Control to Display the HiredDate Field

This VIDEO TUTORIAL will discuss on how to display a calendar control in one of the columns of the GridView control at run time display. In order to display the ‘HireDate’ fields as a selected date in a calendar control, the HireDate bound field must be converted into a template field column using the Edit Fields dialog box from the smart tag menu of the GridView control. After this conversion, make sure to keep this ‘HireDate’ field in the template editing mode and drag and drop a calendar control from the Toolbox. The HireDate is displayed as one of the selected dates (based on the HireDate value) in the calendar field at run time after it is assigned through the Calendar control’s DataBindings wizard.
