Question

The exception message returns:

Year, Month, and Day parameters
describe an un-representable DateTime.

The exception hits the monthCalendar1.SelectionStart

            DateTime check_date = monthCalendar1.SelectionStart;

            for (int index = 0; index <= 5; index++)
            {
                check_date = new DateTime(check_date.Year, check_date.Month, check_date.Day - index);

            }

I also tried this one. but another exception has occured TargetInvocationException

                DateTime check_date = monthCalendar1.SelectionStart;

                for (int index = 0; index <= 5; index++)
                {
                    check_date = check_date.AddDays(-index);

                }

Answer 1

  date_tax.Day - index

this might be producing a negative number that is causing this exception, debug and check its value.
