At long last (and I've been wanting to do this for some time now), I've added a calendar control to my home page for the blog. I really like the look and feel of it. I had done some searching in months past for the control and honestly never found any that I really liked and I almost resorted to creating my own.
However, yesterday I came across a few blog posts: one on Scott Willeke's site, and the second (which is really a modification to Scott Willeke's) by Alex Gorbatchev. I am extremely pleased with the ease of deployment. I had some styles that competed with the Alex's styles, but that was no big deal as he packaged his styles inline in the .ascx file.
I think they both did a fantastic job on the control and thank them heartily for their contributions to the .Text world.
