Answer 1

If its about date scheduling, then the above control should be enough for your requirement, you need to add a combobox for the employee where the user select the employee and date then save it into the the DB in the Schedules table for example. 

When you say setting a reminder, is it something to send via email, or when the users login they can see their own events schedule in a widget like style?

Check the below calendar if you want more advanced view with time:

>>> I want to show each day events with the corresponding date directly.

If you want to show all the events for all the employees on the selected date, you can simply place a ListBox control under the calendar and once the user selects a cell, you can connect to your DB grap the events of that Date and show it in the ListBox.

>>>I want to implement the same as calendar of mobile, 

That view not available in the standard .net calendar control, the one I posted above could help on that.

>>>So can you help me to achieve this, because i am first time work on calendar control to design scheduler.

We don't do a full task here, no one has time for that, we can give you hints or help on specific coding problems. You need to start and later you can post specific question on issue that is blocking you.

I suggest that you start designing the DB and then decided how it will look the UI, then implementation.

Hello Sir,

I have not used SelectionRange because when i am trying to use Selectionrange, it give me notification as

Error 5 'SelectionRange' is not a member of 'WindowsFormsCalendar.Calendar'

I want to get the each days events data, so that i will store it in database.

I don't think that you have used the buit-in winforms control.

You've used this one?

So I can't help on this, please refer to the documentation/code to see what methods are supported for that.
