my Calendar extender is so slow

I have a textbox, linked to calendar extender, and validationcallout attached to it. But the calendar extender displays so slowly, it takes for ever to see the calendar.

Any solution please.

One more question pls, does the calendar extender pop up after a round trip to the server, or is it purely on the client?

Help, Help Help :) :). Thnks a lot.

The calendar extender is all done on client side using javascript.

I also get slow performance on the calendar extender when I have a few on the page and if I try to open and close them repeatedly while selecting dates.

is there any other alternative pls? or is the calendar server control faster?

Thanks.

The calendar asp.net control will cause a full page postback.

I can see that the calendar extender is a tad slow but not to the extent where it is frustrating users or where it is such a delay that I would rather do a full page post back

My Calendar Extender does not display in my Formview

I have two calendar extenders corresponding to a texbox each. They are all inside a Formview. When the textboxes are clicked nothing displays.

I have tried the calendar extender outside the Formview and everything seems to work fine.

I have tried the script manager in and outside the formview to no avail. Is the script manager supposed to be inside the Formview as well ? Any particular place where those controls are supposed to be to function properly??

When I first started to apply the extenders I inserted the script manager control after the extender, I wonder if that may have screwed up things. Althought, I have redone it to no avail. Anyideas ?

I've tried this code and works fine:

 <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /> <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DefaultMode="Insert"> <InsertItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox1"> </ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender> </InsertItemTemplate> </asp:FormView>

You should post your code here to resolve your problem.
