How to get selected date in CalendarView in Xamarin

I'm having a problem on how to get the selected date from my Calendar View. I'm using Xamarin Studio which is c# and I can't use the solutions I've seen here because they're in java codes.

Does anyone know what to do?

Just set the DateChange Event in your view. Like following code:

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
    base.OnCreate(bundle);

    var calendar = FindViewById<CalendarView>(Resource.Id.mycalendarid);
    calendar.DateChange += CalendarOnDateChange;
}

And the event method:

private void CalendarOnDateChange(object sender, CalendarView.DateChangeEventArgs args)
{
    var newdatetime = new DateTime(args.Year, args.Month, args.DayOfMonth);
}

This method will be fired every time the date changed in your CalendarView.

Option 2: You just look at the property from the calendarview:

calendar.Date

Android says following about this property (in Android it is a method):

Gets the selected date in milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00
