monthCalendar BoldedDates/colored Dates
Posted on 2013-01-02

I prefer changing the BackColor of the specified dates but as far as I know its not possible with this control.

this is the code im using:
would love to get any working example.

This is not possible. There is no built-in way of customizing the way that individual days or dates are displayed on the MonthCalendar control.
You could owner-draw the control, but that's way too much work to justify. This will make you responsible for drawing the entire control yourself. Note that if you choose to go this route, the MonthCalendar control does not raise the Paint event because the base control sets the UserPaint bit to "False". You will have to subclass the control and override its OnPrint method instead.
I can't personally recommend any third-party controls that provide this level of customization, but a quick Google search does appear to turn up a few options:

I'm not sure if you can Calendar1_DayRender event..
protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object
{
if (! e.Day.IsOtherMonth )
{
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
if ((dr["EventDate"].ToString
{
DateTime dtEvent= (DateTime)dr["EventDate"];
if (dtEvent.Equals(e.Day.Date
{
e.Cell.BackColor = Color.PaleVioletRed;
}
}
}
}
//If the month is not CurrentMonth then hide the Dates
else
{
e.Cell.Text = "";
}
}
