VB Using Month Calendar Control and Date Time Picker in VB.Net

In this lesson we show how Users can select Dates on Screen Forms by pick and clicking from a Calendar display.

There are two main types of Date Pickers in VB.Net: the "Month Calendar" and the "Date Time Picker".

Both of these Date Pickers are discussed in detail, including setting up Screen Forms and writing Program Code.

We can limit the Minimum and Maximum Date which can be chosen.

We also show how the Month Calendar Picker can be used to select a Date Range.

This lesson will be useful to anyone studying a Computer Programming or Software Development course.

This is a long lesson, and so we recommend you use the YouTube "Tools Cog" on the player bar to watch it at a speed of 1.5x or even 1.75x.

If you are a Teacher watching this video we suggest you click the downloads link below and get the lesson materials for your students.
Give these resources to your students and we think you will find that some of them will "get it" very quickly.
The other students need to watch this video which goes through everything in full detail slowly step by step with repetition of examples.

This is a detailed video, if you want to fast track learning about Date Pickers, then just Download and quickly read through the PDF of the Presentation using the Link given further down below.

There is also a downloadable Word Document giving all of the Form Designs as well as the Full Program Code that goes behind each Form.

Then for anything you do not fully understand in these two documents, simply use the Timeline Index below to go and watch the relevant section of Video explanation.

If you have the time it will be extremely beneficial to watch the entire video to maximize learning outcomes.
