setting calendar.selectedDate using code?

[Gozirra]

Set the SelectedDate and the VisibleDate properties in code.
That works for me.

Hi, I'm sure I'm missing something here, but....

I have a asp.net 2.0 web form and a calendar control.

If I set the selectedDate clicking the control, no problem, but, if I set it
using code I cannot get the visual demonstration of the selectedDate...

I mean, if I check the selectedDate using code I can get it, but it's not
shown visually.


PS: it's not about the VisibleDate property, this property works just fine


Thanks for any clue.
Regards
Victor

Hi Gozirra,

That's what I'm doing... setting the selectedDate and visibleDate in code,
and the "visual demonstration" of the calendar control do not get updated...

Have you checked if your selected day style is visible?

I found that...

You just need to set the selectedDate property to "Today" instead of "Now"
(I don't know why)

there's a thread here...

Well, well, the answer is: you cannot set the selectedDate property to any
date/datetime variable that holds hour, minute or seconds different than 0.

If you set it like: cld.selectedDate = new DateTime(2006,12,29,0,0,0) - It
works just fine...

but if you set it like: cld.selectedDate = new DateTime(2006,12,29,0,0,1) -
The calendar control holds the correct dateTime valeu but do not mark the
day as selected visually.

PS: this was not the behavior in asp.net 1.0 / 1.1, where both approaches
work fine.
