How can I have the calendar show the "DateofIssue" while in edit mode?

          <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DateofIssue" SortExpression="DateofIssue">
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Calendar ID="DateofIssueCalEdit" [highlight #FCE94F]Text='<%# Bind("DateofIssue") %>'>[/highlight] runat="server" >
                        </asp:Calendar>
                </EditItemTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Label ID="DateofIssueCalItem" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateofIssue") %>'></asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>

By "show" do you mean the SelectedDate?

MarkSweetland, yes the date that is in the column, have it highlighted in the Calendar.
Right now it does not show any date when I click Edit.

You'll have to bind both the SelectedDate and the VisibleDate properties to the same date. Even though you can set the SelectedDate to the desired date, the calendar will popup with the current date visible which may or may not be in the same month/year of the selected date. VisibleDate will change the month/year the calendar shows.
