title: Replacing Calendar control (its events) in asp.net with jQuery calendar?
body: <p>Earlier Title: How to add a weekly view Calendar stripe in Web Page?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Gridview</strong>'s data is searched and displayed by <strong>week of the year</strong>. The weekly view calendar control should look like somewhat the picture shown below. The current month, week and date are highlighted.</p>
  
  <p>Adding a calendar control and calculating the week of the year based on the date user clicked within C# is not an issue. But I need to format calendar control in a such way to highlight current week of the year and provides navigation to next and previous weeks of the year (consecutive).</p>
  
  <p>In ASP.Net page, how can I achieve this?</p>

  <h2><strong>EDIT</strong> [17/07/2014]</h2>
  
  <p>After getting some rookie touch on Asp.Net and vee bit of understanding of jQuery, I realized this can be easily achieved via <code>jQuery DatePicker</code> in its UI. However I have couple of questions that need to be addressed while <strong>migrating default asp.net Calendar control based code to use jQuery DatePicker</strong>.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is jQuery DatePicker also called as jQuery Calendar?</li>
  <li><p>Can the following events be achieved in jQuery DatePicker?</p>
  
  <pre><code>   //event                      
     protected void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
          ShowData("a");            
     }
  
     //method is used with page load event to get the data for current week (default)
     Calendar1.SelectedDate
  
  //event - user can only select a particular week, not the single date
  protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
  {
      e.Day.IsSelectable = false;
  }
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18425831/how-to-store-selected-date-from-jquery-datepicker-in-a-variable-using-c">Is it possible to get the selected week/date of the jQuery DatePicker into a variable? <strong>YES</strong></a></p></li>
  <li>Will it be an issue changing into jQuery instead of using built in calendar control for application's maintenance purpose. </li>
  </ol>
