I found the most wonderful free calendar control today online for ASP.NET and am usingit in one of my web applications.
RJS PopCalendar is the calendar I ran across. You can read all about it on thisblog. It is fully customizable using CSS and ASP.NET along with Javascript andis a wonderful calendar that looks and works great.
If you’d like to see the main page for the calendar application it can be found atthe following page:

If you’re planning on adding mapping to your corporate website Google Maps may bethe way to go. Although Microsoft offers great service through their MapPoint webservice such a service may be a bit much for the project you are creating. If so Google offersa free and open platform.
I created an ASP.NET page to generate the XML that I then passed to my Google Mapspage. The Google maps page I created took a zip code as input and passed that alongto my ASP.NET XML generator by parsing some Javascript code in the main maps page.The result was a dynamic searchable directory of our dealers using custom icons.
I plan on writing an article in the next week on how to create the ASP.NET page tooutput the XML as well as information on Google maps.
