Remarks
Use this property to get the month currently displayed by the Calendar control and to compare the currently displayed month with another month. For example, you can use this property to calculate the number of months until or since a certain date.
This date is normally the first date of the currently displayed month; however, it can be programmatically changed to any date within the month.
The VisibleDate property can be assigned to this property programmatically to override the month change when the user clicks the navigation controls for the Calendar control.
