Remarks

The selected month can easily be changed with the Up & Down RepeatButtons or by clicking on the month's name, which will allow the user to choose from one of the 12 months in the year.

There are also 5 CalendarSelectionModes which can be used for selecting dates; they allow to choose values ranging from a single date to mutiple CalendarDateRanges.

Furthermore, single dates or CalendarDateRanges can be blacked out to make sure that they are not selected by the user. This is done via the CalendarBlackoutDatesCollection class.

Note that when needed, the CalendarMode can be changed to display the months in a year or the years in a decade.
