Hello All,

I am new in Web Development. I am developing a web application with MVC C#.
I want to build a View which contains all year months in calendar view and mark some days with specific color based on dates saved on a database table.

Could you please how I draw this calendar view on my view and mark some days on it with different color if this day's date is saved on the database table.

Below is a sample of what I want.

Umm, I'd rather use the Kendo UI Scheduler[^]. And it supports customization ;)

Or you can get a help from CodeProject articles:

That's a commercial component. Links to commercial components, particularly when not requested by the OP, are usually considered spam.

Could be.
But it's an alternative solution.
