Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The name or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException	A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.
InvalidRangeException	The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

The AddMonthCalendar method enables you to add MonthCalendar objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a MonthCalendar control that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove() method. The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds a MonthCalendar control to cells A1 through C10, and then sets the FirstDayOfWeek property to Monday.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddMonthCalendar()

    Dim MonthCalendar1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
        Excel.Controls.MonthCalendar = Me.Controls. _
        AddMonthCalendar(Me.Range("A1", "C10"), _
        "MonthCalendar1")

    MonthCalendar1.FirstDayOfWeek = System.Windows. _
        Forms.Day.Monday

End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddMonthCalendar()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.MonthCalendar
         monthCalendar1 = this.Controls.AddMonthCalendar(
         this.Range["A1", "C10"], "monthCalendar1");
    monthCalendar1.FirstDayOfWeek = System.Windows.Forms.Day.Monday;
}
