Use this class to programmatically manage a collection of System.DateTime objects that represent the selected dates in a Calendar control. This class is commonly used to add or remove dates from the collection.

This collection stores only whole dates. The time portion of each System.DateTime is removed. The dates are stored in ascending order. If there are duplicate dates, only one date is stored in the collection.

The following code example demonstrates how to programmatically use the SelectedDatesCollection class to select dates in the Calendar control.
