    Hi,

    I had a very similar issue also. My DatePicker would be rendered but when I clicked the dropdown button no calendar would display. I tried the default button etc but no joy.

    What it turned out to be was actually hidden in another error.

    Check your page and if you have any <%= %> in your page, wrap a asp:net placeholder or div with runat="server" around it. The acutal error being reported to the system was:

     

    The Controls collection cannot be modified 
    because the control contains code blocks
    (i.e. <% ... %>).

     

    Once I fixed this issue, the DatePicker worked as expected.

    I changed

    <div id="releaseDetails">

            Release version: v<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("releaseVersion") %><br />

            Release date:

            <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("releaseDate") %>

    </div>

     

     

    to

    <div id="releaseDetails"  runat="server">

            Release version: v<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("releaseVersion") %><br />

            Release date:

            <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("releaseDate") %>

    </div>
