Question

I am new to C# is know some visual basic but I don’t know C#. Now my question is I have a monthly calendar on my page and when someone selects the date and hits the submit button the date should appear in the label to the right. Here is a part of my code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    label6.Text = monthCalendar1.Text;
}

private void label6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label6.Text = monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.ToShortDateString();
}

I am not understanding why it is not working.

Edit: What is not working is the label for the calendar when the user picks a date and click the submit button the date should go over to the label.

I have been here answering question and all i am asking is for someone to help me understand what I am doing wrong. And you guys want to down vote me..

Answer 1

Things we need to know:

• How is your UI laid out? Maybe post a picture and indicate where label6 is.
• Any exceptions?
• What exactly happens when you click on your button? (Not working is not descriptive enough. Tell exactly what changes.)

My research: monthCalendar1 is likely System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar. MonthCalendar.SelectionStart should be valid at any time, as long as it’s between MinDate and MaxDate. What I don’t get is if the label is your garden variety, why wouldn’t the label show?

Other note: If there’s a button to change the label, there’s no point having a click handler on the label, and vice versa.
