The Calendar control, like most Web server controls, allows you to use styles to specify the appearance of the control, including aspects such as font, color, and borders. For general information about using styles with Web server controls, see ASP.NET Web Server Controls and CSS Styles.

Styles are not fully supported in all browsers. |
To allow you flexibility in customizing the appearance of the calendar output, the Calendar control supports styles for a number of discrete elements that make up the calendar grid. The following diagram displays a calendar with all optional elements displayed.
The following table describes each of the elements that you can control using styles.
| Calendar Element | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Days of the current month. Weekends, today, and the selected day can have different styles (see below). |
|

To set calendar element styles
-
Type a style element, such as an
<DayStyle>or<TitleStyle>element, into the page as a child of the Calendar control. For syntax, see -
Set properties (attributes) of the style element, such as BackColor or BorderWidth.
The following shows a Calendar control declaration with a DayStyle element:
В 
Copy Code<asp:Calendar id="Calendar1" runat="server"> <DayStyle BackColor="#FF8080" BorderWidth="2" BorderStyle="Groove"> </DayStyle> </asp:Calendar>
You can also set style elements at run time in code.
To set calendar element styles programmatically
-
Set properties of individual style elements using the following syntax:
В Copy CodeCalendar1.StyleName.Property = setting
The following examples illustrate some typical style settings for the Calendar control:
Visual BasicВ Copy CodeCalendar1.DayStyle.Font.Size = New FontUnit(10) Calendar1.TitleStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
C#В Copy CodeCalendar1.DayStyle.Font.Size = new FontUnit(10); Calendar1.TitleStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
