SharpDevelop Community

Hello,

I have only basic knowledge of SharpDevelop, and need to simply display a calendar so that I can select a multi-day range and turn into a list like this:

Tue 4 July
Wed 5 July
etc.

After installing SharpDevelop 4.4.2*, I notice that by default, the calendar only supports selecting up to one week: How to remove this limit? And how to turn the selected range into a list of days?

Thank you.

* apparently, release 5 doesn't support VB

The control you are using looks like the System.Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar control, which is supplied by Microsoft as part of the .net framework, so any questions about it really ought to be directed to Microsoft. I've tried it using both SharpDevelop 5.2 and Visual Studio 2015 community edition, and in neither can I select more than 7 days, so this is a restriction imposed by the control rather than by the IDE.

I can answer your second question (albeit in C#, sorry). If your MonthCalendar instance is called monthCalendar1 then this should do the trick:

        public Collection<DateTime> SelectedDays
        {
            get 
            {
                SelectionRange range = monthCalendar1.SelectionRange;
                Collection<DateTime> returnValue = new Collection<DateTime>();
                for (DateTime d = range.Start; d <= range.End; d = d.AddDays(1))
                {
                    returnValue.Add(d);
                }
                
                return returnValue;
            }
        }

Hope this helps.
