Microsoft outlook Calendar Control ?

Question

Requirement:

I need to create a VB.NET front end that has a Microsoft Outlook style calendar control.

The very basic thing would be a calendar control in which you can add TEXT to each day. An advanced version would be a calendar control in which i can add appointments to each day. Another good enhancement would be a calendar control in which i can add a VB.NET control (like a DGV) to each day.....

Can anyone recommend me to any control like that.... ?

Thanks !!

TkNeo,

Have you tried too bind the Controls like DataGridView control to the class not bind to the object? The following source shows the method that use the BindingSource control to bind the DGV control to the Class:

Imports System

Imports System.Collections.Generic

Imports System.ComponentModel

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Drawing

Imports System.Windows.Forms

 

Class Form1

    Inherits Form

 

    Private bSource As New BindingSource()

    Private dgv As New DataGridView()

 

    Public Sub New()

        ' Bind the BindingSource to the DemoCustomer type.

        bSource.DataSource = GetType(DemoCustomer)

 

        ' Set up the DataGridView control.

        dgv.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

        Me.Controls.Add(dgv)

 

        ' Bind the DataGridView control to the BindingSource.

        dgv.DataSource = bSource

    End Sub

End Class

 

' This simple class is used to demonstrate binding to a type.

Public Class DemoCustomer

 

    ' These fields hold the data that backs the public properties.

    Private birthDateValue As DateTime = DateTime.MinValue

    Private idValue As Guid = Guid.NewGuid()

 

    ' This is a property that represents a birth date.

    Public Property BirthDate() As DateTime

        Get

            Return Me.birthDateValue

        End Get

        Set(ByVal value As DateTime)

            If Value <> Me.birthDateValue Then

                Me.birthDateValue = Value

            End If

        End Set

    End Property

 

    ' This is a property that represents a customer ID.

    Public ReadOnly Property ID() As Guid

        Get

            Return Me.idValue

        End Get

    End Property

End Class

 

Hope that can help you and waiting for your reply.
