Get the month and year of Calendar that current displaying

[Jason Chan]

How can I get the month and year a calendar control current displaying?

My problem is I want to load a list of event to a calendar so that it
display difference style if there a event for a day.

My initial idea is load all events from database and store it in a
DataTable. In the DayRender event, loop thr the DataTable and see if it equal
to e.Day and alter the style if that is.

However when the event table is large, it hurt performance. So how get I
know what month and year the calendar control is current displaying, thus I
can only load the events of specified month and year only?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,

I'm not overly familiar with the calendar control, however, from memory,
cant you access the "selectedit em" - if so, you should be able to get the
date from that - thus breaking it up and getting the month and year...

Again not overly familiar with it - but that should work I think...

It doesn't work, i have a test.aspx with a Label and a Calendar, with
following code

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label1.Text = Calendar1.Visib leDate.ToString ();
}

The Label1 show "1/1/0001 0:00:00" when the page first loaded, currently
month/year is Nov, 2005
When I click the nextMonth link, Calendar current displaying Dec, 2005,
however the Label1 show "1/1/0001 0:00:00",
When I click the nextMonth again, The Calendar now is Jan, 2006, but the
Label is "1/12/2005 0:00:00"
Then I click prevMonth, The Calendar back to Dec 2005, the Label shows
"1/1/2006 0:00:00"

It seem the VisibleDate always keep the previous value, and initial
undefined when the page first load.
Anyone can explain the behavior?

Or how you guys implements a event calendar?

Thanks in advance

This doesn;t work, since when the page first loaded, no date is selected.
