Get Holidays from Database
I am trying to get a list of holidays from a database to show in ASP:Calender. Nothing shows when I run the calendar. There is data in the database and I tested the connection and it works fine.

using System.Configuration;
namespace Calender
{
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private List<DateTime> HolidayDate = new List<DateTime>();
private List<string> HolidayName = new List<string>();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
GetHolidays();
}
}
private void GetHolidays()
{
SqlConnection conn;
SqlCommand comm;
SqlDataReader reader;
string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ConnectionString;
conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
comm = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Holidays", conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
reader = comm.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
HolidayDate.Add((DateTime)reader[1]);
HolidayName.Add((string)reader[2]);
}
reader.Close();
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
}

{
string tooltipValue = string.Empty;
if (IsEventDay(e.Day.Date, out tooltipValue))
{
e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGoldenrod;
e.Cell.ToolTip = tooltipValue;
}
if (e.Day.IsWeekend)
{
e.Cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
e.Cell.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
}
if (e.Day.IsOtherMonth)

e.Cell.Text = "";
}
}

{
tooltipValue = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < HolidayDate.Count; i++)
{
if (HolidayDate[i] == calenderDay)
{
tooltipValue = HolidayName[i];
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
