Developer Defined Range: Define the calendar for any period of time. (For example Jan 2000 to Dec 2010.)

Weekly and Monthly View: Display dates and appointment information in a regular monthly view or a seven day week view.

Month Coloring: Distinguish between months with alternating background colors.  Colors can be defined in the control or by the class used to group the appointments in the calendar.

Appointment Support: Appointments may be assigned to one or a range of dates displayed in the control.  A "stacked" or "sorted" option may be used to allow the developer to control appointment display.

Calendar Grouping and Appointment Filtering: Appointments displayed in dbiCalendar can be grouped by contact, location or task and then filtered to display in the appropriate calendar.

Day Formatting: Day formatting collection class allows the developer to determine how a date or range of dates is displayed.  This includes background and foreground colors, fill types, text, images and fonts.

XML Support: Create or read an XML file of all the data in the control or for any of the collections individually (Appointments, Contacts, Locations, Tasks, Weekends, and DayFormats). Read and write this data as a string or as a file. XML data can be read or written at design time or at runtime. XML support simplifies re-instancing of the control, sharing different design styles, and makes for simple loading/unloading of collection data in an XML format.

Print and Print Preview: dbiCalendar includes a built in report capability including print and print preview methods.

Create an Image of the Control: The CreateImage method allows the developer to easily implement functionality to create a jpg, bmp, or gif image of the control and its contents. CreateImage functionality is ideal for publishing images to the web or creating images of the calendar to be distributed as attachments in an email.

Definable Weekends: dbiCalendar includes a Weekends collection to allow the developer to discretely define those days that are to be considered weekend days.  Weekend days can optionally be assigned a custom background color to differentiate them from weekdays.

Tool Tips: Built in to the dbiCalendar control, tool tips can be optionally presented as the scroll bar moves between dates in the calendar.  Scrollbar Tool Tips provide an excellent visual cue to the user to assist in scrolling betweens dates in the control.
