# Orientation

## Content



By default, the navigation orientation of the Calendar control is in horizontal direction. However, you can change the navigation orientation of the calendar to Vertical direction by using [Orientation](/componentone/api/maui/online-maui/dotnet-api/C1.Maui.Calendar/C1.Maui.Calendar.C1Calendar.Orientation.html) property of the [C1Calendar](/componentone/api/maui/online-maui/dotnet-api/C1.Maui.Calendar/C1.Maui.Calendar.C1Calendar.html) class. The **Orientation** property accesses the [CalendarOrientation](/componentone/api/maui/online-maui/dotnet-api/C1.Maui.Calendar/C1.Maui.Calendar.CalendarOrientation.html) enumeration to set the orientation in which the calendar navigates.

The following code demonstrates how to set the vertical navigation orientation using the Orientation property:

**xml**

```xml
<c1:C1Calendar x:Name="calendar" Orientation="Vertical"/>
```

**csharp**

```csharp
calendar.Orientation = C1.Maui.Calendar.CalendarOrientation.Vertical;
```
