Demonstrates the QuickDateMenu control.

The QuickDateMenu control offers a list of predefined dates. When selected, a DateTextBox or range of two DateTextBoxes are updated with the dates described by the menu command.

Add a QuickDateMenu control and set its DateTextBoxControlID property to the ID of the DateTextBox, or DateTextBoxControl to the reference of that DateTextBox. If the DateTextBox's RangeEndControlID is assigned, the QuickDateMenu knows to update both.

Define PeterBlum.DES.Web.WebControls.QuickDateItem objects in the Items collection. It offers a list of predefined rules in its QuickRange property. If you need another rule, define it in the StartDate and EndDate properties. Set the label of the menu command in the Label property.
