Selected day is highlited, holidays are red, next and previous month's days are light-green.

Value property's type is Nullable System.DateTime type. So if you need to get DateTime value use InputDate.Value.Value property.

If InputDate is empty then InputDate.Value.HasValue == false and InputDate.Value.Value == null

Control can show week numbers in separate column if ShowWeekNumbers="true"

Date-range validation

You can use Calendar date-range validation. If any date is is not in date range or is disabled (over special dates collection) that day is marked as inaccessible.

AJAX behavior

Control has AJAX behavior. It may loads collection of special dates only after selecting next or previous month or year, not during page rendering - it decreases traffic.

Only set property:

EnableAjaxBehavior=True

Show multiple months

You can display multiple months in various layouts by setting the public properties Rows and MonthsPerRow and set appearance of the control by setting properties MonthPadding and MonthSpacing.

Click to enlarge

You can play with the provided dropdowns to change the view of the calendar. You can set the ShowMonthsYearsLists property of Calendar to True in order to show dropdown boxes for month and year selection in title. You can easily jump into any month or year without navigating through each month.

If property ShowMultiMonthTitle equals True then contr5ol will displays title over all months in multi-month mode.

Keyboard navigation

A critical requirement for software accessibility is keyboard support as a complete alternative to pointing devices (mouse, etc.). Use keyboard to navigate calendar:

Keyboard key	Action
Left	Move to the previous day
Up	Move to the previous week
Right	Move to the next day
Down	Move to the next week
Enter	Select current day
