    i am trying to insert a date of birth field into my registration form.

    I have posted a question relating to Date of Birth, but the response didnt really meet my needs. as it sugests using 3 list boxes using a common category (date of birth). this puts it as a separate section within the form.

    I was hoping to include it with other personal information, eg name. and i was also hoping to have all 3 list boxes together (not on separate lines) just like http://www.disabledfriends.com/tempimages/dob.jpg)

    Also, i would like to be able to capture the age of the website member, based on this date of birth, and display it on the profile page.

    I do think, it might be a good idea to have a date of birth field already predefined in a future edition of DNN, as i think i is such a fundamental field for a membership website.

    Many thanks

    Hi dave0160,
     
    What you are asking for is a whole new level of programming this contracts with the actual database.
     
    Is a lot of work but a lot of good work. Learning how to retrieve and store data to a database is an entire new process.
     
    Base on my experience this deals with data binding in which you have to bind the appropriate textbox to its declared name to communicate with the database.
     
    I would love for lee to complete a video base on data binding which is the next step to complete a full blown  website that can communicate with the client via textbox and
     
    Other very useful controls included in VWD, but don’t worry eventually it is something that we will essentially master through practice with lee’s help. However, “search and you shall find” as I did!.......
