Comments

The LastDate property defines the last valid date.

The edit control contents are not considered valid (see Contents.Valid) until the date is within the specified range. The user cannot select a date outside of the date range defined using Calendar.FirstDate and LastDate using the popup calendar.

If the date defined using LastDate is prior to the date defined using Calendar.FirstDate, the range LastDate to Calendar.FirstDate is considered the valid range.
