Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to the use the SelectedDate property to refer to the selected day. This example is part of a larger code sample for the Calendar overview.

TextView1.Text = "The date you selected is " +
   Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

TextView1.Text = "The date you selected is " & _
   Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()

Remarks

Typically, you use this property together with the SelectionMode property to determine the selected date of a Calendar control. To do this, set the SelectionMode property to Day - this setting allows only a single date selection from the Calendar control.

Browsing to the next or previous month will not update this property.

This property has the same functionality as the ASP.NET Calendar.SelectedDate property.
