  Hi, quick question.

  
  

  Currently, the control shows the days that fall outside of the currently selected month (shows them as a gray color).

  
  

  How can you make it not show those days at all?  I only want to show days available to the currently selected month.  Thank you

  Hello Arash,
  
  Thank you for contacting us.
  
  You can use the DayTemplateSelector property of the Calendar to remove the unnecessary dates. You can see an example of its use in this online demo.
  
  If you need further assistance please feel free to contact us again.
  
  Best wishes,

  Konstantina, I am not seeing the DayTemplateSelector property to make this work.  I am using the most recent version of the Telerik Silverlight controls...

  OK, I have figured out to make this work using the sample provided in this forum thread (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/calendar/radcalender-control-problem.aspx).  However, all I am doing here right now is setting the visibility of the textblock to "Collapsed"
  
  Since this still draws a border around the box, and the hover state can still be activated, I am wondering how I can hide the whole cell.  Just not sure which property in the DataTemplate I could use to make this work.  :)
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Justin,
  
  I am afraid you cannot remove the cells completely, because the columns with the buttons are put in an UniformGrid and even thought they are not there, there still will be saved place for them.

  Is it possible to disable selection and hover states?  The calendar is for viewing purposes only, and users will not be clicking on indivudal dates at all.  Really only being used to show the dates of any given month, and events are listed in a grid below.
  
  I have tried to edit templates and styles for the calendar, and just not being successful in getting rid of the styling for hover and selected states..
  
  Thoughts?

  Hello Justin,
  
  The date buttons are represented by a ButtonChrome control, so in order to remove the hover states you will need to edit its template. You can find more information about the customization of this control in this KB article - it is for WPF, but the logic is the same and in Silverlight instead if Triggers, we use VisualStates.
  You can customize the control very easy in Expression Blend. Just drop a RadCalendar control in the design surface, right-click it and choose from the menu Edit Additional Templates-> Edit DayButtonStyle. After that find the SelectionChrome control (this is the ButtonChrome mentioned before), right click it and choose from the menu Edit Template-> Edit a Copy. Blend will generate all the needed resources. Find the VisualStates for the hover and remove them.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Thanks - that provided some help.  :)
  
  Slightly different question...
  
  I want to be able to display multiple selected dates - but for some reason the only time that the calendar will display the selected date the way I am looking for is when the DisplayDate is set.  Which will only show a single date.
  
  Any idea how to address this?  Or am I missing something else?

  Hello Justin,
  
  I suggest you to set the appropriate SelectionMode in order to be able to select multiple dates. This is illustrated in this online demo. You can also find some more information about this property in this help article.
  
  Kind regards,

  Konstantina - I have done all that.  If I set a single data as Display Date - the selection shows up just as I want.  If I add dates to SelectedDates I get nothing...

  Resolved - once again due to operator error.  Sigh.  :)
  
  Apparently I had made a mistake somewhere in editing the template for the DayButton, and the dates WERE being selected, just not changing color.  Only the "focused" date was showing up correctly.
  
  Changed template, all good now.
  
  (Still having issue with displaydatestart and end though - which is in a different thread)
