Calendar Select does not select a date if datetime value contains a time other than midnight
If you set a Calendar control SelectedDate with a DateTime where the there is a date part, and a time of 00:00:00, the calendar correctly selects that date
If the time part is not midnight, the Calendar does not select the date.
I used the DateTime.Date value to set the date from a DateTime value with non-midnight dates
Is this a bug? or by quirky design
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I could be wrong but more like quicky design because past midnight is in the 24hour clock which is in TimeSpan.

Caddre The selected date property accepts the type of DateTime. It should therefore be able to extract the day/month/year out of this class and ignore the time part - which is how you and I would write the code! As I elucidated, the DateTime class already has a property that provides this, as well as other properties for day/month/year.
I am not sure why you think a time span is important. This is a different class supporting a different concept, and cannot be used to get a static date time
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

sbyard Yes I know they don't appear related but past midnight is multiple dates and I told you I could be wrong. Run a search on your problem you only find references to Oracle 10g docs why simple past midnight is time interval. I have seen you do time for users so you will find a solution but it is not a bug.
Kind regards,

Caddre Regardless of the calendar selection mode used, using a date time to select a single date with a time not equal to midnight does not perform a selection.
The time span is only relevant as when reading a range of dates already selected in the calendar, where the selected dates collection can be used to provide the first/last fixed position in time to create an abstract length of time (the timespan object)
A simple test

sbyard Hi sbyard,
This is a very interesting find. I have reproduced your sample and can confirm if the "time" portion of the date is not midnight (12:00 AM) the SelectedDate will not be set.
I've been working with the Calendar control weekly for 5+ years and never ran into this problem before. It's really strange.
I'm going to do some digging and see if I can find where things are going wrong within the control. They (Microsoft) are probably doing a straight comparison of the SelectedDate value to the date of the Cell being rendered. If they don't match, the SelectedDate is not rendered. For example:
(DateTime.Today == DateTime.Now) // returns falseWhat I think should be happening is something like the following...
(DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() == DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()) // returns true
By removing the "Time" portion of the DateTime value, you can compare if the "days" are the same.Hope that makes sense.
I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks,

BasicDatePicker Given that the DateTime class already has a property for the DAY part only, you would think that this would be used for teh comparison. But, as you allude, if there is a comparison between a DateTime and some other non-DateTime value, then a conversion is requried one way or the other. You can always use the standard calendar as a base class and coreect the issue by overriding the selected date property - as long as it's overridable, or even create a "new" property at the inherited level, and calling the base class.
Ho Hum

Raise Event when a selected date is selected again in Calendar
Hi all,When I view source of the rendered page that contains a calendar control, I see it's a table, with a child table where each date is a table cell calling the all powerful __dopostback function with the calendar id as the event target and a unique numeric string as the event argument.Since the selected date is also containing the dopostback function, could that be exploited to call a routine during page load due to postback.I have come upto this and got stuck after that.'aspx.vb code snippet:If TypeOf sender Is Control Then dim ctl as control &...
Selecting already selected date in Calendar control
Greetings, I have a calendar control inside an UpdatePanel. As indicated in the documentation (and verified by testing), the SelectionChanged event is triggered only if the selected date is changed. That is, it does not trigger if the user clicks on the already selected date. However, clicking on the already selected date does cause an async postback of the UpdatePanel that contains the calendar. So, my question -- how can I determine that the cause of the postback was the user clicking a second time on the calendar control? There does not appear to be a ...
