I'm converting a VB6 app that uses the Sheridan Calendar Widgets 32bit control to VB.NET (VS2010). My development machine is Win7-64 bit, but the app will also need to run on XP and Win7-32bit. Which product would you suggest I use? I've looked at the WindowsForms Schedule control. It seems like overkill, I really just need to be able to display a month or 12 months at a time and display certain dates in a different color. The MonthCalendar control that ships with VS does not allow any customizations on the style, font, size, colors etc, so I'm looking for a .net friendly replacement.
Thanks.
Hello Serena,
I'd recommend the WPF xamCalendar. It is a much simpler control than the WinForms Schedule control.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for the recommendation. I've looked at the xamCalendar link. It appears to be very similar to the MonthCalendar control that ships with Visual Studio. I'm looking for something that has more flexibility in setting the backcolor property and other style properties for individual dates within the calendar.
