How do I build a fiscal calendar control in Vs2005?

I would like to either create my own calendar control OR modify an existing one so that it reflects our fiscal calendar.  Can anybody tell me how I could do this?  I was thinking to do it on a webform.

I am using VS2005 and C#.

Thanking you in advance for your suggestions

What kind of calendar control are you looking for?  Are you looking for a date-picker, or a calendar application showing events and importand dates?

How about using the AJAX Toolkit Calendar control for the former:
     http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/Calendar/Calendar.aspx
and the ASP.NET built-in Calendar control for the latter:

Thank you DropZone but this isn't quite what I'm looking for.  I know about the AJAX Toolkit but I need a calendar control in which I can control what date is the first day of the month.  This is because of our fiscal calendar:

Ex.: The month of April in our fiscal calendar for this fiscal year starts Apr. 5th and ends May 2nd.

Is there a way to do that?
Hum, that is going to be strange.  Typically, calendar controls will display months normally, and optionally allow for special dates to be highlighted or selected.  But a calendar where you can change which is the start and end of each month seems contradictory.

I understand about your fiscal calendar, but how were you planning on displaying this?  How would you show your fiscal calendar in the context of the months?  Most (if not all) calendar controls out there will not let you "invent" new months.

ok so do you think I could highlight all the dates in my fiscal month one color, and the next fiscal month another color, etc?
