What did you have in mind ? Display a month-at-time ? A week ?

Why limit yourself to the Console ? Why not WinForms or WPF ?

Its like the usual calendar it has day and month and year or at first it will ask what year you want to go and also time i guess because my prof say that i must have a time on it so he can put events. We are now studying C# console i am a college student and my professor say create a calendar using console and it can save events. sorry for my bad English and grammar. I hope you understand. Thank you.

Are you aiming to click on any of the days to add events for that particular day? If so, why not consider Windows Forms or WPF, as BillWoodruff has suggested? Or do you simply want the event details to be entered by the user using the Console?

Member 11347341 2-Jan-15 5:29am

Does console can save events? or data? so if i close it and open it again the event are still their? Thank you to all the answer it help me a lot. :D

Have you figured out how you are going to save events ? You are going to need to serialize something, or create a text file and save it, and then read it back in and use the data in some way.

Member 11347341 2-Jan-15 8:52am

No sir. Can you explain it to me in a simple way? Please? :) Thank you.

Sorry its to messy. My program was to long it does not fit the comment box. so i have to divide it into two. Here is my last question. i hope someone can answer this first how i can save events? can you explain it to me so i can understand it clearly step by step? :) or just explain it. Please i need your help. And if someday i will learn this things im the one who voluntary help those need help here.

It's not complicated.
Decide on your start-of-week day:

S   M   T   W   T   F   S

Or

M   T   W   T   F   S   S

For example.
Then, work out the day of week for the 1st of the month.
You want to space entries until you get to there:

 S   M   T   W   T   F   S
         1   2   3   4   5
...

Then just start printing increasing numbers in groups of 7.

If you stop and think about it, and break it down into smaller tasks each time, it's pretty simple.
