hi experts,
actualy i nned your help here.
i'm working in a website and i'm facing two problems.
the first one is that i want to display today date when no date is selected (an if statement)
the second one is that i have 2 drop down list and i want to use also an if statement so when the value of the first drop down list is choosed display a message and when the value of the second drop down list is choosed display another message.

the senario of the first one is:
If selecteddate is false
calendar1.selecteddate = datetime.now
i was unable to find the right if statement.

for the second one is :
if Commdrop is selected
label.text = " message"
if sitedrop is selected
label.text = " message"

thanks for your time.

... Why are you referencing everything as boolean values?

i'm not i just do not know how to do it or how to start.
any help will be appreciated.

The answer to your dropdown question is to handle the SelectedIndex_Changed event of each drop down. In so far as your other question: are you trying to determine if a date has been selected in the calendar or not? Because, in all reality, when a user enters the page no date will be selected on the calendar so you could do:

if(!Page.IsPostBack){
   calendar1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now();
}

hi experts,

this is what i have:
protected void Date_Selected(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Calendar1.SelectionMode == CalendarSelectionMode.None)
        {
            Calendar1.SelectedDates.Clear();
        }
        switch (Calendar1.SelectedDates.Count)
        {
            case (0): //None
                Label1.Text = "today is: " + CommDrop.SelectedItem.Text + " at " + DateTime.Now;
                break;
            case (1): //Day
                Label1.Text = "today is: " + CommDrop.SelectedItem.Text + " at " + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
                break;
            case (7): //Week
                Label1.Text = "today is: " + CommDrop.SelectedItem.Text + " at " + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
                break;
            default: //Month
                Label1.Text = "today is: " + CommDrop.SelectedItem.Text + " at " + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();
                break;
        }
    }
this is to choose the date when a date is selected in a callendar:
i have also this in the SelectedIndex_Changed for drop down list 1

Label2.Text = "Statistieken voor Community: " + CommDrop.SelectedItem.Text + " at " + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

and for drop down list 2

Label2.Text = "Statistieken voor Site: " + SiteDrop.SelectedItem.Value+" at " + Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

so now when i choose from the drop down list 1 or 2 the date Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString() is still the same.
what i want is when i choose a date from the callendar the: Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString() that in the SelectedIndex_Changed also changed. now it's not changing until i choose another site or community from the drop down list.

thanks for any help experts.
