I have a button1 that when clicked, it opens a monthcalendar1 form. I would like to have the user select a date from the calendar and whatever date they selected shows up in the a textbox but in "yyMMdd" format. On some forums I've read, its states that if I want just the date and not the range I need to change the MaxSelectionCount=1 in the properties window and use the "monthcalendar.selectionend" in my code. Unfortunately no example of code was given. I'm not so worried about the date format right now but just getting it into the textbox. Any help greatly appreciated. Running visual studio 2010 in windows 7 if it helps.

To let the user select a single date, set the control's MaxSelectionCount property to 1. That means they can only select 1 day.

You could also consider using a DateTimePicker control instead. It takes less room and only lets the user select 1 date. It doesn't display a month calendar, though, and sometimes that's useful.
