## ASP.NET Calendar TodayDayStyle Property
The `TodayDayStyle` property is used to get or set the style of the current date (today's date) in the ASP.NET Calendar control. By customizing this property, you can make the current day stand out visually to improve user experience.
---
## Definition and Usage
The `TodayDayStyle` property allows developers to define the appearance of the cell representing today's date in the Calendar grid. You can customize various style attributes such as background color, font color, border style, and font weight.
---
## Syntax
There are two ways to declare the `TodayDayStyle` property in your ASP.NET markup:
### Method 1: Inner Tag Syntax (Nested Element)
```xml
```
### Method 2: Attribute Syntax (Inline Property)
```xml
` tag.
```xml
```
### Example 2: Using the Inline Attribute Syntax
This example achieves the exact same visual result as Example 1, but uses the inline hyphenated attribute syntax.
```xml
```
### Example 3: Advanced Styling (Combining Multiple Styles)
You can combine multiple style attributes to make today's date highly visible. In this example, we set a light yellow background, a bold font, and a red border.
```xml
```

## Considerations & Best Practices
1. **Precedence**: If you apply styles to the general days using `DayStyle`, the properties defined in `TodayDayStyle` will override them for the current day's cell.
2. **System Date**: The "today" date is determined by the system clock of the web server hosting the ASP.NET application, not the client machine's local time.
3. **Accessibility**: Ensure that the contrast ratio between the `ForeColor` and `BackColor` of your `TodayDayStyle` is high enough to remain readable for visually impaired users.
