Requirements

Read a date from user input.

Display the first and last days of the month in which the entered date falls.

Hint

You get a DateTime object from the user using the Convert.ToDateTime method call.

You can get the month and year numbers from the entered date via the Month and Year properties.

To get the last day of the month, add a month and subtract a day!

Demo

using System;
class Program{/*  w  w  w  .  ja  va 2  s .  c  o  m*/
    static void Main(string[] args){
        // Date input 
        Console.Write("Enter a date: ");
        string input = Console.ReadLine();
        DateTime enteredDate = Convert.ToDateTime(input);

        // Calculations 
        int enteredYear = enteredDate.Year;
        int enteredMonth = enteredDate.Month;

        DateTime firstDayOfMonth = new DateTime(enteredYear, enteredMonth, 1);
        DateTime lastDayOfMonth = firstDayOfMonth.AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1);

        Console.WriteLine("Corresponding month: " +
            "from " + firstDayOfMonth.ToShortDateString() +
            " to " + lastDayOfMonth.ToShortDateString());
    }
}
