How to set a date/ get a date for Datepicker in codebehind

Question

I can't manage to set a date and to get a date of Datepicker in code behind(C#) does anyone have informations to give me about this ? thanks in advance!

  <input id="datepicker" value="01/01/2011" type="text"/>



$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker();
});

Solution 1

<input id="datepicker0" type="text" name="datepickernm"/> 

You can get the value from below code in the codebehind:

String text = Page.Request.Form["datepickernm"]

Solution 2

Use an ASP textbox control:

<asp:textbox runat="server" id="txtDate"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $('#<%= txtDate.ClientID %>').datepicker();
</script>

This way you could get and set the value from code behind.
