Formatting Calendar Elements Using Styles

The Calendar Web control, like all Web controls, allows you to use styles to specify the appearance of the control, including aspects such as font, color, borders, and so on. For general information about using styles with Web controls, see Customizing Control Appearance Using Styles.

Note   Styles are not fully supported in all browsers.

To allow you flexibility in customizing the appearance of the calendar output, the Calendar Web control supports styles for a number of discrete elements that make up the calendar grid. The following diagram of a calendar with all optional elements displayed.

The following table describes each of the elements that you can control using styles.

Calendar Element Description
DayStyle Days of the current month. Weekends, today, and the selected day can have different styles (see below).
DayHeaderStyle Row above the calendar where the names of the days appear.
NextPrevStyle Sections at the left and right ends of the title bar where the month navigation LinkButtons are.
