MonthCalendar.AddBoldedDate Method
Adds a day to be displayed in bold in the month calendar.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
You must call the UpdateBoldedDates method afterward to update the display.
To add multiple dates in a single assignment, you can assign an array of DateTime objects to the BoldedDates property.
The following code example uses the AddBoldedDate and UpdateBoldedDates methods to mark and display in a bold font dates read from a file. This example requires that a MonthCalendar control, named monthCalendar1, has been added to a Form and that this method is placed within the form and called from it.
// The following method uses Add to add dates that are // bolded, followed by an UpdateBoldedDates to make the // added dates visible. private void loadDates() { String myInput ; try { StreamReader myInputStream = File.OpenText("myDates.txt"); while((myInput = myInputStream.ReadLine()) != null) { monthCalendar1.AddBoldedDate(DateTime.Parse(myInput.Substring(0,myInput.IndexOf(" ")))); listBox1.Items.Add(myInput); } monthCalendar1.UpdateBoldedDates(); myInputStream.Close(); File.Delete("myDates.txt"); }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe) { // Code to handle a file that could not be found should go here. Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: '{0}'", fnfe); } }
