How to get Start and End Dates in the .NET MAUI Calendar (SfCalendar)?
In the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Calendar control, you can obtain the start and end dates of the selected range using the SelectionMode property and the SelectionChanged event of SfCalendar.
Step 1: Set the SelectionMode property of SfCalendar to Range to enable selecting a date range.
XAML
<calendar:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar"
SelectionMode="Range" />
Step 2: To display the start and end date of the selected range, use the DisplayAlert() method inside the SelectionChanged event handler.
XAML
<calendar:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar"
SelectionMode="Range">
<calendar:SfCalendar.Behaviors>
<local:CalendarBehavior />
</calendar:SfCalendar.Behaviors>
</calendar:SfCalendar>
C#
public class CalendarBehavior : Behavior<SfCalendar>
{
private SfCalendar sfCalendar;
private DateTime startDate;
private DateTime endDate;
protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfCalendar bindable)
{
base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
this.sfCalendar = bindable;
this.sfCalendar.SelectionChanged += SfCalendar_SelectionChanged;
}
private void SfCalendar_SelectionChanged(object sender, CalendarSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (this.sfCalendar.SelectedDateRange != null)
{
startDate = (DateTime)this.sfCalendar.SelectedDateRange.StartDate;
if (this.sfCalendar.SelectedDateRange.EndDate != null)
{
endDate = (DateTime)this.sfCalendar.SelectedDateRange.EndDate;
}
else
{
endDate = (DateTime)this.sfCalendar.SelectedDateRange.StartDate;
}
App.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("StartDate:" + " " + startDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"), "EndDate:" + " " + endDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"), "OK");
}
}
protected override void OnDetachingFrom(SfCalendar bindable)
{
base.OnDetachingFrom(bindable);
if (this.sfCalendar != null)
{
this.sfCalendar.SelectionChanged -= SfCalendar_SelectionChanged;
}
this.sfCalendar = null;
}
}
