Scheduling/Event app

Question

Hi
I will like to develop a scheduling/events application  i.e users will know the event available for each day of the month through
the year. I have prepared 365 events in text format located in my folder, i have also prepared the the date picker code already.
how can i bind each text file event for each day to the date picker. When the user picks date it will display the event available for each day.
see datepicker code below
xaml.cs
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
        Appointments appointments = new Appointments(); 
        // Constructor
        public MainPage()
            InitializeComponent();
            appointments.SearchCompleted += new EventHandler<AppointmentsSearchEventArgs>(appointments_SearchCompleted);
            SearchCalendar(); 
            // Sample code to localize the ApplicationBar
            //BuildLocalizedApplicationBar();
        private void SearchCalendar()
            appointments.SearchAsync(DateBox.Value.Value, DateBox.Value.Value.AddDays(1), null);
        private void DateBox_ValueChanged(object sender, DateTimeValueChangedEventArgs e)
            SearchCalendar();
        void appointments_SearchCompleted(object sender, AppointmentsSearchEventArgs e)
            if (e.Results.Count() == 0)
                MessageText.Text = "no events for the selected day";
            else
                MessageText.Text = e.Results.Count() + " events found";
                DateList.ItemsSource = e.Results;
Kindly help

Hi Vineet24
I followed the method below, but whenever i select the date picker it only gives the data for the present day, instead of picker days ahead/before.  How can i make it to pick future/past data
See the code below
xaml
<toolkit:DatePicker x:Name="pickerdt" Margin="0,10,0,0" Header="Select date" VerticalAlignment="Top" ValueChanged="pickerdt_ValueChanged"/>
            <ScrollViewer Margin="0,105,0,10">
                <TextBlock x:Name="textblock" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="White"/>
            </ScrollViewer>
xaml.cs
private List<Devotion> devotions;
        public CalendarPage()
            InitializeComponent();
            devotions = new List<Devotion>();
            AddDevotions();
        private void pickerdt_ValueChanged(object sender, DateTimeValueChangedEventArgs e)
            DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
            int month = dt.Month;
            int year = dt.Year;
            int index;
            if (DateTime.IsLeapYear(year) || (month <= 2))
                index = dt.DayOfYear - 1; // list is indexed from 0
            else
                index = dt.DayOfYear; // add a day
            textblock.Text = devotions[index].ToString(); // or some other property
        private void AddDevotions()
            for (int i = 1; i <= 366; i++)
                string filePath = "MyDevotions/Devotion" + i.ToString() + ".json";
                Devotion d = ReadJsonFile(filePath);
                devotions.Add(d);
        public Devotion ReadJsonFile(string JsonfilePath)
            Devotion[] d = null;
            using (StreamReader r = new StreamReader(JsonfilePath))
                string json = r.ReadToEnd();
                d = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Devotion[]>(json);
            return d[0];
