Remarks

Use this class to programmatically manage a collection of System.DateTime objects that represent the selected dates in a Calendar control. This class is commonly used to add or remove dates from the collection.

This collection stores only whole dates. The time portion of each System.DateTime is removed. The dates are stored in ascending order. If there are duplicate dates, only one date is stored in the collection.

SelectedDatesCollection(ArrayList)

Initializes a new instance of the SelectedDatesCollection class with the specified date list.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of DateTime objects in the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

IsReadOnly

Gets a value indicating whether the SelectedDatesCollection collection is read-only.

IsSynchronized

Gets a value indicating whether access to the SelectedDatesCollection collection is synchronized (thread safe).

Item[Int32]

Gets a DateTime object at the specified index in the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

SyncRoot

Gets the object that can be used to synchronize access to the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

Methods

Add(DateTime)

Appends the specified DateTime object to the end of the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

Clear()

MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
Remove(DateTime)

Removes the specified DateTime object from the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

SelectRange(DateTime, DateTime)

Adds the specified range of dates to the SelectedDatesCollection collection.

ToString()
