Question Datetimepicker control is grayed out

bravo_s82 · Jun 11, 2008

I'm new to vb.net, and i need to use datetimepicker control on a textbox. However, all Common COntrols are grayed out in the toolbox. Is this an installation issue ? I can only see standard, data, webparts, login, etc in the toolbox. How do i get the common controls to show up.

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated..

Those toolbox sections you mention are only available for web application projects. DateTimePicker is a windows forms control.

thanks for the reply.

I want to make i understand this. I am working on a webapplication (website project) and the page i'm trying to place this control is a web form. The source with tags <form></form>

so datetimepicker is not available here?

No. DateTimePicker is a windows forms control. I see there is a Calendar control in web toolbox, maybe you could like it?
