1. Customizable Day Matrix - developers have complete control over the appearance of the day matrix, as it is not hardcoded to the usual 7 x 6 mode. By setting the FirstDayOfWeek and the days x rows matrix you can format the number of rows/columns in a MonthView. (There is a maximum of 42 cells per MonthView).

2. Multiview Presentation - Telerik RadCalendar can be easily configured to show more than one month in the calendar area. To enable this functionality you need to set the MultiViewColumns  and MultiViewRows property to specify the number of month columns/rows in the Multiview.

3. Multiple Selection Options - Telerik RadCalendar supports both single and multi-date selection. To enable multi-date selection you should set EnableMultiSelect  property to "true", so that each day you click will be selected/unselected respectively. 
   You can also use the column and row buttons (days and weeks) to select blocks of dates. These features are controlled by the the EnabledColumnSelectors and EnabledRowSelectors properties. For more information please read the Customizing Selectors section.

4. Template Support - a collection of dynamic templates can be used for achieving rich presentation of the calendar days. You can use this customization on a "per day" basis. It is especially useful if you want to implement a scheduler-like interface with additional information and images about events, links to additional information, etc. The header and the footer of Telerik RadCalendar can also be customized completely using templates.

5. Horizontal and Vertical Orientation - by default the calendar view renders the days horizontally row by row. However it can be configured to render the content vertically (i.e. column by column). Simply specify the orientation of the calendar by setting the Orientation property to either RenderInColumns or RenderInRows.

6. Scrolling and Navigation - Telerik RadCalendar provides three types of navigation, which allows you to switch and jump to new views (months):
    • Previous/next month - allows you to go to the pervious/next view (month) by clicking the "<" or ">" buttons (customizable)
    • Jump X months forward/backward - allows you to jump X views (months) forward or backward when you click the "<<" or ">>" buttons. The jump step is specified in the FastNavigationStep property.
    • Month and Year selector - allows you to specify the month and year directly from a popup window, which can be opened when you click on the calendar header.

7. Keyboard Support - Telerik RadCalendar supports the standard browser navigation paradigm. Users can tab across the page elements till they reach the calendar element. Then they can go forward/backward over the individual days by pressing the [Tab]/[Shift+Tab] keys. A day can be selected by clicking the [Enter] button.

    

8. Localization and Support for System.Globalization Namespace - the globalization namespace consists of classes, which contain culture-related information, such as language, country/region, calendars in use, format patterns for dates, currency, and numbers, and sort order for strings. They are useful classes for writing globalized (internationalized) applications.
