Obtain currently selected datein CalendarView [UWP] [C#]

Question

In my UWP C# app I want to display the currently selected date of a CalendarView in a TextBlock, I know I should use the SelectedDatesChanged event to update the TextBlock but I cannot find any code to obtain and parse the date.

Answer 1

You can use args.AddedDates to get Date from SelectedDatesChanged event

private void CalendarView_SelectedDatesChanged(CalendarView sender, CalendarViewSelectedDatesChangedEventArgs args)
{
    var myDate = args.AddedDates.First();  //Since args.AddedDates returns collection we should use First to get the first item
    MyTextBlock.Text = myDate.ToString();  //You can convert DateTime into different format using myDate.ToString(format);
}
