Remarks

Use this property to determine the previously displayed month on the Calendar control. You can restore the Calendar control to the previously displayed month by setting the VisibleDate property to PreviousDate.

This date is normally the first date of the previously displayed month; however, it can be programmatically changed to any date within the month.

The VisibleDate property is updated to the date in this property before the VisibleMonthChanged event is raised.
