How to: Read Selected Dates in the Calendar Web Server Control

The first example displays the currently selected day. The second example displays all selected dates, which might be a single day, a week, or a month.

Example

' Example 1
Label1.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()

' Example 2
Dim s As String = ""
Dim d As DateTime
For Each d In Calendar1.SelectedDates
    s &= "<br />" & d.ToShortDateString()
Next
Label1.Text = s

// Example 1
Label1.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

// Example 2
String s = "";
foreach(DateTime d in Calendar1.SelectedDates)
{
    s += "<br />" + d.ToShortDateString();
}
Label1.Text = s;

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

• A Web Forms page.

• A Calendar control named Calendar1.

• A Label control named Label1.

Robust Programming

If only one day is selected, the SelectedDates property will get just one date. If a week or a month is selected, the SelectedDate property will get the first date from that collection.
