You can change the look and feel of Calendar using the Calendar CssClass property.
Calendar has a predefined set of CSS classes that can be overridden. It has a default
style which is embedded as a WebResource and is a part of the Toolkit assembly that
has styles set for all the sub-classes. You can find them in the Toolkit solution,
in the
"AjaxControlToolkit\Calendar\Calendar.css" file. If your
CssClass does not provide values for any of those then it falls back to the default
value. To customize the same the user would have to set the CssClass property to
the name of the CSS style and define the styles for the individual classes so that
the various elements in a Calendar control can be styled accordingly. The second
calendar in the demo above uses the "MyCalendar" style. which sets the Calendar
container style as follows.
.MyCalendar .ajax__calendar_container {
border:1px solid #646464;
background-color: lemonchiffon;
color: red;
}
