title: Any Free Alternative to the ASP.net Calendar Control?
body: <p>Here are the problems I am having with the control from the factory:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>no easy way to get the first visible date (yeah I could use day render, but at that point  in the page cycle, I can't do what I need to, which is manipulate a collection in viewstate)</li>
  <li>changing the visibledate property in my code does not raise the visiblemonthchanged event. That just doesn't make any sense to me.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Can someone suggest a free, improved calendar control?</p>
