C# Code for Selecting Dates in Calendar

• A single calendar day, assign Calendar SelectedDate a DateTime value.
• To select multiple dates use the Calendar SelectedDates.Add() method to add DateTime values to the collection.
• To have more than one date in the SelectedDates collection you should set the Calendar AllowMultipleSelect property to true.

calendar1.AllowMultipleSelect = true;
calendar1.SelectedDates.Add(new DateTime(2011, 8, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0));
calendar1.SelectedDates.Add(new DateTime(2011, 7, 23, 0, 0, 0, 0));
calendar1.SelectedDates.Add(new DateTime(2011, 6, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0));

calendar1.SelectedDate = new System.DateTime(2011, 10, 25, 0, 0, 0, 0);
calendar1.SelectedDates.AddRange(new DateTime[] { new DateTime(2007, 9, 17, 0, 0, 0, 0) });
