Day Formatting: A day format collection class allows the developer to determine how a date is formatted (displayed). Format options include background and foreground colors, fill type, font, text, and enabled/disabled status.

Appointment Support: Appointments can be assigned to one or a range of dates in the control. Appointments can be displayed in "sorted" or "stacked" view. Appointment edit functionality is automatically enabled by setting a property to present the appointment dialog when an appointment receives a double-click event.

Appointment Filtering: Filtering can be based on Date, Contact, Location, and Task.  When the properties are set only appointments meeting those properties will be displayed.

Print and Print Preview: The dbiMonth control has built-in reporting capability including print and print preview methods.

Create an Image of the Control: The CreateImage method allows the developer to quickly 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: dbiMonth 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.

XML Support: Create or read an XML file of all the data in the control or just for the DayFormats and Appointments collections 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, sharing different design styles, and easy loading/unloading of appointment data in an XML format.
