Birthday Dropdownlist ASP.NET C#

Question

I am making an input for birthday, how do I make an if-else statement in a dropdownlist?

Months like February only have 28/29 days in it while the rest have 30 or 31...

It would be strange if the user can select month 'April' and day '31'

What I have done is making a label for 'Birthday' .. added another label for each 'day' 'month' and 'year'

And 3 dropdownlists for each label...

Show us the codes. What did you do so far? – 7alhashmi Jun 27 '13 at 04:54 — 7alhashmi, Jun 27 '13 at 04:54
No code, it is just a design in Visual Studio. Sorry >.> – Belzelga Jun 27 '13 at 07:04 — Belzelga, Jun 27 '13 at 07:04

You have basically three choices:

Write a javascript function to add/remove days from the DropDownList when user selects a month.
Set AutoPostBack="true" on the month DropDownList and on the server side add/remove days from the DropDownList. This is the easiest way to go, if you have no experience in writing javascript.
Use a control like jQuery datepicker.

I would strongly recommend using a Javascript/Jquery calendar. These are here to make life simpler for a developer and let him focus on more specific things. There are so many options out there.
One such option is DHTML goodies calendar.

Try this Belzelga......

Add years in your yearDropDownList and months in monthDropDownList... In yearDropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event check whether the selected year is a leap year or not. Then according to the selection of month add days.

Use the following example code for adding days:

for (int i = 0; i <= 30; i++)
{
   dayDropDownList.Items.Add(new ListItem(i.ToString(),i.ToString()));
}
