Calendar ignores value of NavigationLowerBound

[ME-MarvinE]

Original Issue:
ME-MarvinE/XCalendarGettingStarted#2

[ME-MarvinE]

I'm surprised it took this long for this to be uncovered, nice catch. A new version with the fix will be released in the next few hours.

[ME-MarvinE]

Should be fixed by #172 in version 4.5.4 of XCalendar.Core

[ME-MarvinE]

I see in your images and code that you've set the lower bound to "Today".

The default behavior of the calendar is to loop to the upper bound once you reach the lower bound, and since you haven't set an upper bound, it goes to DateTime.MaxValue and that's why it displays December 9999.

I don't know why all the dates are the same though, I'll look into that. What does your XAML look like?

[ME-MarvinE]

Setting the lower bound works fine in the "Getting Started" repo. The dates below the minimum turn red as they should.

Here's my code. It works fine on previous versions as soon as I upgrade to the latest version I get the issue with the dates

I replaced the code in the getting started app with yours. I renamed the namespace "xc" to "calendar" so it would match your XAML.

• I got a compilation error that "ICalendarDay" could not be resolved; there is a change in 4.6.0 which makes the interface ICalendarDay require a type parameter, so using it in XAML is no longer an option.
  You can either create an interface which implements ICalendarDay with a specific type, or you can change DataTemplate x:DataType="{x:Type xcInterfaces:ICalendarDay}" to DataTemplate x:DataType="{x:Null}" (you won't get intellisense if you do this) which is what I did.

• Next, I added x:Name="this" to the page since I got a runtime error saying the name "this" could not be resolved.

• Then I got compilation errors saying "The property "NavigateCalendarCommand" was not found" and "The property "MyCalendar" was not found". So I replaced those occurrences to say BindingContext.NavigateCalendarComand and BindingContext.MyCalendar so it would reference the ViewModel of the page which is where those properties are located.

After that, I got this:

The dates seem to show fine - each day has the correct date. The invalid dates are grey, the current ones are black, and the other month ones are invisible. I wasn't able to replicate your issue with the same date repeating.

This was on XCalendar.Maui 4.6.0 running on Windows 10.

@pjdavid Have you managed to get it working correctly by applying the 1st (and 3rd if you're using a ViewModel) changes I mentioned?

[pjdavid]

I'm testing this implementation today. I had to downgrade for now but today I'm going to update again to try your suggestions

[ME-MarvinE]

@pjdavid Are you still experiencing this issue?
