Remarks

The VisibleMonthChanged event is raised when the user clicks the navigation controls for the Calendar control to display the next or previous month.

When you create a MonthChangedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
