Remarks

To specify a date to go to in a current view, such as a CalendarView object, you should first obtain a View object for the current view by using CurrentView instead of CurrentView. The following code sample demonstrates how to perform this action.

Sub TestGoToDate()
    Dim oCV As Outlook.CalendarView
    Dim oExpl As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim datGoTo As Date

    datGoTo = "11/7/2005"

    ' Display the contents of the Calendar default folder.
    oExpl = Application.Explorers.Add( _
        Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder( -
        Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar), _
        Outlook.OlFolderDisplayMode.olFolderDisplayFolderOnly)
    oExpl.Display()

    ' Retrieve the current view by calling the 
    ' CurrentView property of the Explorer object.
    oCV = oExpl.CurrentView

    ' Set the CalendarViewMode property of the 
    ' current view to display items by day.
    oCV.CalendarViewMode = Outlook.OlCalendarViewMode.olCalendarViewDay

    ' Call the GoToDate method to set the date
    ' for which information is displayed in the view.
    oCV.GoToDate(datGoTo)
End Sub

private void TestGoToDate()
{
    Outlook.CalendarView oCV;
    Outlook.Explorer oExpl;
    System.DateTime datGoTo;

    datGoTo = DateTime.Parse("11/7/2005");

    // Display the contents of the Calendar default folder.
    oExpl = Application.Explorers.Add(
        Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(
        Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar),
        Outlook.OlFolderDisplayMode.olFolderDisplayFolderOnly);
    oExpl.Display();

    // Retrieve the current view by calling the 
    // CurrentView property of the Explorer object.
    oCV = (Outlook.CalendarView)(oExpl.CurrentView);

    // Set the CalendarViewMode property of the 
    // current view to display items by day.
    oCV.CalendarViewMode = 
        Outlook.OlCalendarViewMode.olCalendarViewDay;

    // Call the GoToDate method to set the date
    // for which information is displayed in the view.
    oCV.GoToDate(datGoTo);
}
