Calendar

The class is used for the Calendar control, which displays a single month of the year at a time and allows users to move forward and backward from month to month and select one or more dates. The SelectionMode property determines what type of selections are allowed (day, week, or month). You can also create an event handler for the DayRender event, use it to examine each day in the calendar and decide if you would like to apply special formatting, add additional content in the corresponding table cell, or make the day unselectable.

If only a single day is selected, it will be provided in the SelectedDate property. If you use a SelectionMode that allows the user to select multiple dates, they will be contained in the SelectedDates collection.

The other properties of the calendar are used to customize its appearance, allowing you to hide header and title information, choose styles, and disable month-to-month navigation. Note that if you hide the title portion by setting the ShowTitle property to False, the month navigation controls will also be hidden. You can also respond to a SelectionChanged event that fires when the user chooses a new date and the VisibleMonthChanged event that fires when the user navigates to a different month.
