How do you want to display it ? What calendar control are you using ? Why doesn't the SelectedDate property solve your problem ? Is Convert.ToDateTime working ?

i think the convert is working... the thing is... calDateOfBirth.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(_member.DateOfBirth.ToString()); the date is set correctly on the calender... i can click on the previouse month arrow up to the correct month and see the selected date (as the correct date). When the page is loaded it is displaying the today date not the selected date? how do you specify to show the selected date on the calender itself like it is showing the current date???

ha ha, never mind... i figured it out... right after this section of code: calDateOfBirth.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(_member.DateOfBirth.ToString());code> i have added this: `calDateOfBirth.VisibleDate = calDateOfBirth.SelectedDate;` it is working fine now :-) Thank you for your time any way.

try setting VisibleDate as well asa SelectedDate (you would assume that VisibleDate is set to SelectedDate but it isnt by default!)
