MonthChangedEventArgs.NewDate Property

Gets the date that determines the currently displayed month in the Calendar.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property NewDate As DateTime
[C#]
public DateTime NewDate {get;}
[C++]
public: __property DateTime get_NewDate();
[JScript]
public function get NewDate() : DateTime;

Property Value

The date that determines the month currently displayed by the Calendar.

Remarks

Use this property to get the month currently displayed by the Calendar and to compare the currently displayed month with another month. For example, you can use this property to calculate the number of months until or since a certain date.

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

The VisibleDate property can be assigned to this property programmatically to override the month change when the user clicks on the navigation controls for the Calendar.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example demonstrates how to compare the months of NewDate and PreviousDate to determine whether the Calendar control moved forward one month or backward one month.
