calendar

[chris]

Hi,

I get the date from a calendar and put it into a text box.

TxtDate.Text = Calendar1.Selec tedDate.ToShort DateString();

But I would like to also do it the other way around. That is, convert the
textbox to a calendar date, so that the calendar (when you open it) has the
same value as the date in the textbox.

Thanks for your help

Chris

Re: calendar

You could do:

Calendar1.Selec tedDate = DateTime.Parse( TxtDate.Text );

But take care to catch possible exceptions.

When you say 'calendar' I have assumed you meant the
System.Windows. Forms.DateTimeP icker control.

This code adds the selected date to the text box:

private void Calendar1_Value Changed(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
textBox1.Text = Calendar1.Value .ToShortDateStr ing();
}

but you knew that bit :)

To go the other way you need to put some code in the controls 'Enter' event:

private void Calendar1_Enter (object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
try
{
// set the date to be the date in the text box
char[] sep = {'/'};
string[] tokens = textBox1.Text.S plit(sep);
int day = int.Parse(token s[0]);
int month = int.Parse(token s[1]);
int year = int.Parse(token s[2]);

DateTime date = new DateTime(year, month, day);
Calendar1.Value = date;
}
catch
{
Calendar1.Value = DateTime.Now;
}
}

This is pretty crude and will obviously only work with dates in the
format 'day/month/year' using a '/' as a seperator but it should give
you a good start.

Hope this helps :)

Re: calendar

Does Microsoft ever think of the way to make datetime working better?
I always have different time each time I work with datetime.
