oops, my bad....there is NO click event on monthcalendar
i had my code where it was handling the datechanged event, not the date selected event.
this actually makes a little bit of sense...each minute, the datetime changes, and fires this event?
i guess this is this expected behavior? i did see some stuff on the MS forum how this might be an odd ball bug, as some report it firing every two minutes or so...
anyway, i just needed to handle dateselected and not datechanged. also, i find it odd that there is no click or doubleclick event on this control.
