Min/Max date values for calendar control

[Steve]

Hi all,
Anyone have a idea what the min and max dates the
calendar control can handle, we've seen nothing in the
documentation. We have some instances where were setting
effective dates to System.DateTime.MinValue and
System.DateTime.MaxValue, were getting errors with this
range and can shorten it up to match the limitations of
the calendar control.

Thanks,
Steve

Strange that you're getting errors in the range, 'cause it is a long span:

DateTime Members

MinValue
The value of this constant is equivalent to 00:00:00.0000000, January 1, 0001.

---

MaxValue;
The value of this constant is equivalent to 23:59:59.9999999, December 31,
9999, exactly one 100-nanosecond tick before 00:00:00, January 1, 10000.

Oops. Misread what you are after. You know the min and max of the system but
want to know the min and max of the control...

Sorry
