It would help if you explained which Calendar you are using.

Hi MOHIIMRAN,

 

I think you are using the server control "Calendar" which allows you to select any date.

The problem is that what purpose you want to achieve.

 

For example, if I want to implement a calendar that automatically selects today, I simply assign today to the calendar when it is rendered for the first time. Then, I could use the event "OnSelectionChanged" to do another stuff when users select another date.

 

More details, you could refer to below codes:

aspx:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server" OnSelectionChanged="Calendar1_SelectionChanged" ></asp:Calendar>
            
        </div>
        <div>
            <asp:Label ID="displayCalendar" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
        </div>
    </form>

code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Render today for the first time
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                Calendar1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;
                displayCalendar.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString();
            }
        }

        // Change the label whenever the calendar's selected date has been changed.
        protected void Calendar1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            displayCalendar.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToString();
        }
