Generate days in month based on month

I'm wondering if anyone has an elegant solution for generating days based on a month selected for use in a dropdown. What i'm wanting to do is for the user to select the month, then populate a dropdown for days for that month. So for example if the user selected january you would have a dropdown list with values 1 - 31. The only bit i think might be tricky will be to do with leap years, so it may need to pass in year as well. Any ideas would be most appreciated :)

Enumerable.Range(1, System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(int year, int month));

You would need to create cascading dropdowns, where the user selects the year and the month and you generate a third dropdown based on that combination.

But a much easier solution would be to use a jQuery date picker: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker

This does the hard work for you!

Do this to populate your days dropdownlist:

System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(int year, int month);
