On page 507 of Beginning ASP.Net: 

<asp:Calendar id="MyCalendar" runat="server"
SelectedDate="2001/07/17"

How can I change this fixed date to "Today" ?

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

	I am afraid you have code that in your Page_Load method like
this:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	if (!Page.IsPostBack)
		CalendarControl.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
}

But this sure works fine,
Minh.

Minh,

I pasted your code into the mycalendar.aspx file, and I received a 
compilation error:

Compiler Error Message: BC30205: End of statement expected.

What else should I try?

Don't laugh, but I didn't recognize the below as C#, so I translated it at:
http://www.aspalliance.com/aldotnet/examples/translate.aspx

and I added two lines to the exisiting Page_Load:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal Sender As System.Object, _
                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

    If Not IsPostback Then 
      ShowDailyEvents()
      CalendarControl.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now  'this is added	
      CalendarControl.VisibleDate = DateTime.Now   'this is added

    End If
  End Sub

and I get this error:
BC30451: Name 'CalendarControl' is not declared.

I'm a newbie (obviously), so how do I go about this?

Many thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

	Oh, I used CalendarControl because my control was named
"CalendarControl", you have to replace that with the name of your
Calendar control.

Hope it works,
Minh.
