Multiple Presentation Styles: Independent weekend, date, and week number colors. Show or hide fill-dates from previous and next months. Show or hide navigation buttons.  Flat, 3D, and XP display styles.

Definable Weekends: dbiDate includes a Weekends collection allowing 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.

Day Formatting: A day format class allows the developer fine-grained control over date cell presentation. Format options include background and foreground colors, fill types (solid and gradient), fonts, and enabled status

Multiple Calendars: The dbiDate control is capable of displaying from one to twelve calendars at a time. The control’s virtual capability allows the developer to set a start and end date and render all of the months within the that date range using the control’s built-in navigation buttons. The calendars can be stacked vertically and/or horizontally. Calendars can be set to a fixed size, or their size can be determined by the size of the control. 

Week Numbers: Display week numbers with a developer-defined “first week” rule. Week numbers can be displayed on the left or right of dates.

Today Date: Display the current date at the bottom of the calendar.  Navigate to the current date by clicking on it.

XML Support: Create or read an XML file of all the data in the control or just for the DayFormats within the control. 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 and sharing different design styles.
