SelectedDate Event not firing on calendar control when page loads

[i3enners]

Hello

I am having problems with the ASP.Net calendar control. I have a style i apply to the selected date which works fine if i load the page then click on a date but when i set the selected date in the page load event it doesn't apply the style so my user's cannot see what date is actually selected.

I am simply using the code

calendar1.selecteddate = now()

this doesnt style the calendar.

is there some way of forcing the selected date event to fire manually???

thanks

What do you mean manually? Use a client side event with JavaScript?

what i mean is that if i set the selecteddate programmatically when the page loads it doesn't apply the selecteddatestyle to the day i have chosen but if i click on a date with my mouse then it does.

I will have a look at firing the event through javascript but this would mean i would be refreshing the page as soon as it loads which is a bit nasty.

thanks

Maybe using this in your page load will help:

DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(5)

If you wanted 5 days from now...
