Date Selection Modes
Calendar supports four date selection modes, as described in the following table.
The following sample demonstrates mode selection with a Calendar control.
Selection Link Graphics
The Calendar control can use either text or graphics for its selection links. The following sample shows how
to use graphics to create a better-looking calendar.
Selection Link Text
The Calendar control can also use text labels for week or month selection, as shown in the following example.
Adding Custom Content to Calendar
You can make appointment-style calendars by adding content in the OnDayRender event. Two of the arguments
for OnDayRender are the Day that is being rendered and its Cell object. Custom text can be added to the
cell for a particular day by adding it as a LiteralControl to the Cell object's Controls collection, as shown in the following example.
