asp:calendar - Why is "SelectedDate" a linkbutton but there is no event to catch?

[Sally]

OnSelectionChanged is only fired when you select a date DIFFERENT then
SelectedDate. Why is the SelectedDate a link button if I cannot catch
the event? Do I have to put in my own code in OnBubbleEvent?

Hello Sal,

The Calendar.SelectionChanged event is the correct event for tracking when selection is changed. I'm curious to know why you wish to react to the user selecting a date that is already selected
considering once a date is selected it is no longer hyperlinked (i.e., the linkbutton no longer has a link).

Depending on your scenario, if you absolutely need to provide a mechanism for tracking selection of an already selected date, you may try adding a new linkbutton to that date's control collection
and responding to its selection event separately.

Keith
