    Hi all,

    I trying to find if SharePoint calendar view is the best fit to display event details.
    There will be around 2000 events / meetings happening in one month. 
    I would want to do some color coding in the Calendar view based on the type of event.
    I am looking at adding some filter criteria to the Calendar view. Display events based on some criteria.

    Kindly share your knowledge

    I tried to do some check, i found the following:
    1) The view [Day / Week / Month] doesn't display all the events if the number of events are huge [like > 1000 in my case]
    2) I am not able to provide color coding as the OOB Calendar control is a ListView webpart which doesn't expose the XSLT
    3) I found that the OOB Calendar - ListView Webpart doesn't accept connections (correct me if i am wrong), How can i add a filter criteria then?
