How to set VisibleDate property of asp:Calendar control



Calendar Web Server Control in ASP.NET

<h3>Calendar Control VisibleDate Property</h3>
        <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1"  runat="server" 
            VisibleDate="1973-10-17"
            ToolTip="Calendar Control VisibleDate Style"
            SelectionMode="Day"
            DayNameFormat="Full"
            FirstDayOfWeek="Sunday"
            ForeColor="#6600CC" Height="183px"
            ShowGridLines="True" Width="459px">
            <DayHeaderStyle BackColor="#66FF66" />
            <SelectedDayStyle BackColor="Red" />
            <TodayDayStyle BackColor="White" />
        
        </asp:Calendar>

Note: This is the only property user can set at design time. Selected Date is not allowed at design time.  So coming to Visible date style, There is no Style for VisibleDate.  We need to set selected date ad VisibleDate(set set at design time), so that Selected day style will appear(Assuming SelectionMode is Day.



Page_Load  set SelectedDate as VisibleDate

C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
    
        Calendar1.SelectedDate = Calendar1.VisibleDate;
        }

VB.NET
Protected  Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    
        Calendar1.SelectedDate = Calendar1.VisibleDate
End Sub

Here is the Output

VisibleDate Style
