I know there is a Wizard control available but what I want is so simplistic I cannot figure out where I started veering off the deep end here. When a user puts in their name and hits next I want the calendar control to become selecatable for a start date. I have the ability to mark the start date as green. I want them to select away until they hit the continue button. Issue 1 is they can hit next without a date. I want to catch that. Issue two is they can reselect many times before hitting next. I want them to be able to do that. Once they hit next I want them to be able to chose and end date over and over until they hit next. Then I want them to confirm their coices. I guess the logic isn't so simple ... The code I wrote is so bad. :(. Even the proper fixes hurt my head because StartDateStartPart and EndDateStartPart just would become mental gibberish. I am obviously going to have to rethink and redo this from the ground up.
