Customizing Calendar Web Control Appearance

Because the Calendar Web control is a complex control made up out of many individual elements, it offers you a wide variety of options for customizing its appearance. In this topic, you can learn about the following customization options:

Changing General Calendar Appearance

You can change the overall appearance of the Calendar control, which establishes a default look for the calendar on the page. If you set appearance properties for individual calendar elements, such as today's date, the selected date, and so on, the individual settings are based on the default settings you make for the calendar as a whole. You can also select from predefined Calendar formats.

Note   By default, there is no special formatting to indicate today's date on the Calendar control. For details about how to set this format, see Formatting Calendar Elements Using Styles.

Changing Day-of-Week Display

By default, the names of the days of the week are displayed in a row at the top of the calendar. You can control the format of this row.

Changing the Month Display and Navigation Links

The title bar by default displays the name of the current month and a set of navigation links (LinkButton Web controls) that allow users to move to the next and previous months.
