  I got a trouble about if I re-Template the CalendarButton, then the RadCalendar doesn't work with DayTemplateSelector. 
  
  It doesnot work if I set the DayButtonStyle which inside the style I retemplate the Calendarbutton.
  

  <telerik:RadCalendar DayButtonStyle="{StaticResource CalendarButtonStyle}" >

                 <telerik:RadCalendar.Style>

                     <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadCalendar}">

                         <Setter Property="DayTemplate" Value="{x:Null}"/>

                         <Setter Property="DayTemplateSelector" >

                             <Setter.Value>

                                 <local:CustomTemplateSelector/>

                             </Setter.Value>

                         </Setter>

                     </Style>

                 </telerik:RadCalendar.Style>

  </telerik:RadCalendar>

  
  It will work with selector only if I delete the retemplate part in the CalendarButtonStyle.
  
  How can I use the selector as well as retemplate the CalendarButton.
  
  Hoping for your help. Thanks.

  Hi Yichen,
  
  Could you post your CalendarButtonStyle? I want to check what is set within that style.
  
  All the best,

  Hi Pana,
  
  Thanks for your reply. It's very simple style. I just got it from Expression Blend 4 by using Edit template(a copy). I have changed nothing for this style. But it still cannot work.
  

  <Style x:Key="CalendarButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Telerik_Windows_Controls_Calendar:CalendarButton}">

              <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>

              <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>

              <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>

              <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/>

              <Setter Property="Template">

                  <Setter.Value>

                      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Telerik_Windows_Controls_Calendar:CalendarButton}">

                          <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">

                              <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>

                              <Telerik_Windows_Controls_Chromes:ButtonChrome x:Name="SelectionChrome" CornerRadius="1" Margin="2" RenderNormal="False" RenderSelected="{TemplateBinding IsSelected}" RenderFocused="{TemplateBinding IsFocused}" RenderHighlighted="{TemplateBinding IsMouseOver}">

                                  <telerik:StyleManager.Theme>

                                      <telerik:Office_BlackTheme/>

                                  </telerik:StyleManager.Theme>

                              </Telerik_Windows_Controls_Chromes:ButtonChrome>

                              <Border x:Name="TodayVisual" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="2" Margin="1" Visibility="Collapsed">

                                  <Border.BorderBrush>

                                      <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">

                                          <GradientStop Color="#FF282828"/>

                                          <GradientStop Color="#FF5F5F5F" Offset="1"/>

                                      </LinearGradientBrush>

                                  </Border.BorderBrush>

                              </Border>

                              <ContentPresenter x:Name="Content" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding ContentStringFormat}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>

                          </Grid>

                          <ControlTemplate.Triggers>

                              <Trigger Property="IsFromCurrentView" Value="False">

                                  <Setter Property="Opacity" TargetName="Content" Value="0.5"/>

                              </Trigger>

                              <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">

                                  <Setter Property="Opacity" TargetName="LayoutRoot" Value="0.5"/>

                              </Trigger>

                              <Trigger Property="ButtonType" Value="TodayDate">

                                  <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="TodayVisual" Value="Visible"/>

                              </Trigger>

                              <Trigger Property="ButtonType" Value="WeekNumber">

                                  <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="SelectionChrome" Value="Collapsed"/>

                              </Trigger>

                              <Trigger Property="ButtonType" Value="WeekName">

                                  <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="SelectionChrome" Value="Collapsed"/>

                              </Trigger>

                          </ControlTemplate.Triggers>

                      </ControlTemplate>

                  </Setter.Value>

              </Setter>

          </Style>

  
  The key point is not this style, but the template inside. If I remove the template property inside this style, it will works with DayTemplateSelector.
  
  Hoping for your reply.

  Hi,
  
  I am not sure why this would not work. In general the ContentControl inside the ControlTemplate for WPF should have:
  
  ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplateSelector}"
  
  if I am not mistaken. Could you try adding that line and test the selector again?

  Cool. It works. Thanks.
  It seems expression blender cannot rewrite all the code for us.
