How can I delete all Panels from my calendar?

Question

I'm programming an calendar with C# right now. If i call my calendar, it creates as much panels as the current month has days. But if I want to increase the current month by one, the panels from the current month are stilt there. So i have to delete all my panels as soon as I change the month. But how can i do it in this case ?

Thanks for the help.

Code eplain: First I call the createPanel method, to create panels for the current month. Next if I click the MonthAdd method, I want to delete all my created panels.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I undestood you well but first simple solutiona that comes into my mind is that while creating panels you can keep them in some List for example and before generating new month you can call

 foreach (var p in panels)
            this.Controls.Remove(p);

Answer 2

       ...
        for (int i = 0; i <= numDays; i++)
        {
                //Create Panel
                test[i] = new Panel(); 
        }

        ...

and then

            this.Control.Remove(test[i]);
