Hey guys, I want to build an event calendar in an already existing asp.net webfroms application and for it to interact with DB any ideas where I should start? how to do it? and if there's any already done code around?

The idea to use 3rd-Party Controls was given but I have never used nor do I know how to... any tips on which one I should and how to start using it?

What have you tried?
What research have you done?

I have searched for complete code but only found FullCalendar (Jquery) which I couldn't really get to work and some other options which had to pay and also googled the question I posted here and found nothing useful

I'd use a 3rd party control.

Which one would you use?

Not sure. Haven't had to do one before. But the amount of code is likely too high that I'd rather find one if I can first.

Just google around for options and see what you like.

What wrong with the ASP.NET Calendar control?
Or with this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16592/Event-Calendar-ASP-NET-C?

Third party options...

This one has some popularity - there is a "lite" version which is open-source http://www.daypilot.org/[^]. There's a CP article on it too DayPilot Scheduler Control for ASP.NET[^]

More costly options are Infragistics[^] or Telerik[^]. There are developer/support forums for all of the above.

There is a tutorial on how to build one with database links here[^] based on scheduler-net/[^]

I'll also repeat @Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter's suggestion of this CP article Event Calendar [ ASP.NET 2.0 / C# ][^]
