question about retrieve single selected date in MonthCalendar

hi, i am new to c#, in my project, when a date on the monthcalendar is selected, i want to catch the date for future use (e.g. retrieve all the bookings on that date from db).

i have read some articles about this, now i can call "SelectionRange.start.ToString(); " to get the starting date and call "SelectionRange.end.ToString(); " to get the ending date.

what about a single date selected i tried "SelectionRange.start.ToString(); " and "SelectionRange.end.ToString(); " both work fine. I am just wondering if there is something specifically for a single date selection

    thx Justin for your advice, the setting is exactly what i did, and it works fine, maybe the single date selection method will be available in .net2007

    It appears that what you've found is an event handler whose "DateRangeEventArgs" holds the selected date in it.


        private void monthCalendar1_DateSelected(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs e)
        {
            // Show the start and end dates in the text box.
            this.textBox1.Text = "Date Selected: Start = " +
                e.Start.ToShortDateString() + " : End = " + e.End.ToShortDateString();
        }

        private void monthCalendar1_DateChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs e)
        {
            // Show the start and end dates in the text box.
            this.textBox1.Text = "Date Changed: Start =  " +
                e.Start.ToShortDateString() + " : End = " + e.End.ToShortDateString();
        }

    I'd say that your hint is not very helpful, sorry JohnAskew

    I tried this: txt1.Text = MonthCalendar1.DateSelected.ToString();

    it gave me error: "'System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar.DateSelected' can only appear on left hand side of += or -="

    dont get it, plz help

    Just set the MaxSelectionCount to 1 so that users cannot select more than one day. Then in the SelectedRange.start.ToString(). There is nothing available to show the selection of only one day.

    Look for a different property on the MonthCalendar that stores this data.

    Perhaps a property called "date", e.g.   myMonthCalendar.date  to get or set the data.
