The CalendarExtender Plus is a modification of the calendar extender that ships as part of the Ajax Control Toolkit. There are two main features added to the control. First, you can limit the selectable dates to a specified date range. Second, there is now the option to show an alternate header. The new header includes two DropDown Lists, one to select the month and one to select the year.

The available dates can be limited using the MaxDate and MinDate properties.
<cc1:CalendarExtenderPlus runat="server" ID="cepExample"
TargetControlID="txtExample"
MaximumDate="01/01/2009" MinimumDate="5/15/2009 /> |
Setting the ShowDdlHeader to true will show the heading with dropDownLists to select the month and year.
<cc1:CalendarExtenderPlus runat="server" ID="cepHeaderExample"
TargetControlID="txtExample" ShowDdlHeader="true" /> |
The Calendar Extender Plus has a few other enhancements, including the ability to show or hide the arrows in the heading to move back and forth a month, and a property to show or hide today’s date at the bottom of the calendar.
Since the CalendarExtender Plus is a modification of the standard extender it has all the properties and functionality of the original. It can be skinned using the normal css, and automatically fills the textBox with no need for additional javascript.
The CalendarExtender Plus is free to download, use, and distribute with your project. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
