Question

My table in the database has the following columns id , eventstart , eventend , eventname

I am trying to bind the event name plus the event start date in the cell of the calender on the date which it is occurring

However i am not able to do so

Following is my code snippet

  protected void myCal_DayRender1(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();

    SqlDataAdapter cmd = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * FROM event", con);
    cmd.Fill(ds, "Table");
    if (!e.Day.IsOtherMonth)
    {
        foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
        {
            if ((dr["eventstart"].ToString() != DBNull.Value.ToString()))
            {
                DateTime dtEvent = (DateTime)dr["eventstart"];
                if (dtEvent.Equals(e.Day.Date))
                {

                    Label lbl = new Label();
                    lbl.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
                    lbl.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Double;
                    lbl.Width = 100;
                    lbl.Height = 100;
                    lbl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.BlanchedAlmond;
                    lbl.Text = TextBoxName.Text + "" + TextBoxStart.Text + "" + TextBoxEnd.Text;
                    e.Cell.Controls.Add(lbl);


                }
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {


      }

}

Please help someone

Ok, once again from the start. Now I think I got it. Your problem is probably caused by comparing date with time to date. To get only date without time You can use dt.Date as You can see below. You can consider loading all data on page load because of performance reasons.

DataSet ds = new DataSet();        

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //get data
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
        adapter.SelectCommand = 
            new SqlCommand("select * from event", connection);
        adapter.Fill(ds);
    }
}

protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
{        
    //mark dates in calendar
    foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
    {           
        DateTime dt = (DateTime)dr.Field<DateTime?>("eventstart");

        if (e.Day.Date == dt.Date)           
            {    
                e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

                //add event lable to day
                Label lbl = new Label();
                lbl.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
                lbl.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Double;
                lbl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.BlanchedAlmond;
                lbl.Text = "Event text";
                e.Cell.Controls.Add(lbl);            
            }
    }
}
