The selected date property displays the current date. If multiple date selection is true, then the selected date property displays the currently selected dates. The selection mode of calendar selection mode defines the selection mode of calendar. The selection mode property can be single range, single date, multiple range. we can use these properties by the help of this code.
<Calendar SelectionMode="SingleRange">
</Calendar>
We will use single date then we write single date instead of "single range" or if we will use multiple range property then we will write multiple range instead of "single range".
Single date- only a single date can be selected.
Single range- a single range of dates can be selected.
Multiple range- multiple of dates can be selected.
Calendar background- we can change the background of calendar and calendar will look like this.
