How to Get the Month and Year in the .NET MAUI Calendar?

2 mins read

In the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Calendar control, you can obtain the month and year of current view using the ViewChanged event of the SfCalendar.

Step 1: Add the SfCalendar and Label controls to your layout to display the month and year, as shown in the following code sample.

XAML

<ContentPage.Behaviors>
    <local:CalendarBehavior />
</ContentPage.Behaviors>
<ContentPage.Content>
    <Grid RowDefinitions="0.1*, 0.9*">
        <StackLayout>
            <Label x:Name="monthLabel"
                   HorizontalOptions="Center"
                   VerticalOptions="Center"
                   FontSize="20" />
            <Label x:Name="yearLabel"
                   HorizontalOptions="Center"
                   VerticalOptions="Center"
                   FontSize="20" />
        </StackLayout>
        <calendar:SfCalendar Grid.Row="1"
                             x:Name="calendar" />
    </Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>

Step 2: Use the DisplayDate property of the SfCalendar to get the current visible month and year when the calendar loads. Update the labels with the current month and year using the ViewChanged event.

public class CalendarBehavior : Behavior<ContentPage>
{
    private SfCalendar calendar;
    private Label monthLabel, yearLabel;
 
    protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable)
    {
        base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
        this.calendar = bindable.FindByName<SfCalendar>("calendar");
        this.calendar.ViewChanged += Calendar_ViewChanged;
        this.monthLabel = bindable.FindByName<Label>("monthLabel");
        this.monthLabel.Text = "Month: " + this.calendar.DisplayDate.ToString("MMMM");
        this.yearLabel = bindable.FindByName<Label>("yearLabel");
        this.yearLabel.Text = "Year: " + this.calendar.DisplayDate.ToString("yyyy");
    }
 
    private void Calendar_ViewChanged(object sender, CalendarViewChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.monthLabel.Text = "Month: " + this.calendar.DisplayDate.ToString("MMMM");
        this.yearLabel.Text = "Year: " + this.calendar.DisplayDate.ToString("yyyy");
    }
 
    protected override void OnDetachingFrom(ContentPage bindable)
    {
        base.OnDetachingFrom(bindable);
        if (this.calendar != null)
        {
            this.calendar.ViewChanged -= Calendar_ViewChanged;
        }
 
        this.calendar = null;
        this.monthLabel = this.yearLabel = null;
    }
}
