    schedDay[1, 1] = "1st  Jan";
    schedDay[1, 14] = "KiteDay";
    schedDay[2, 14] = "(?@#$%^&)";
    schedDay[3, 18] = "Don't Know";
    schedDay[4, 1] = "Fool Day";
    schedDay[4, 15] = "MMMMM";
    schedDay[5, 2] = "Don't Know";
    schedDay[6, 8] = "My Day";
    schedDay[7, 21] = "21th  Jul";
    schedDay[8, 11] = "11 - Aug";
    schedDay[9, 18] = "Sep -18";
    schedDay[10, 6] = "LLLFKKKFK";

    schedDay[12, 31] = "The - End";

}

protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
    CalendarDay day = (CalendarDay)e.Day;
    TableCell cell = (TableCell)e.Cell;

    // Check day being rendered is of given month or other.
    // It is required because calander display you some day of previous month
    // and next moth.
    if (!day.IsOtherMonth)
    {
        String dayStr = schedDay[day.Date.Month, day.Date.Day];
        if (dayStr != null)
        {
            // Format the Cell
            cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Tan;

            //Write some description about day
            cell.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<BR>" + dayStr));
        }
    }
