Do not be rude to people giving you good advice!
Try it for yourself, or at least read the documentation for the control in question.
If you are too lazy to do your own research properly before asking for help, do not expect other people to help you, especially if you are going to be rude.

Sadly my friend you are demonstrating your ignorance, yet again.
It is my job to advise you how to behave on this site. This is a site that is policed by its members.
Rude and abusive behaviour should not be tolerated.

With all my respect to you personally, it does not mattar in this site if the poster do some research or not. he will got the same behaviour. insulted.
I know Rabih, he show me his question in skybe, I told him i don't know, post it a forum, I told him to post in msdn, he told me he will post in msdn and codeproject, my answer to him was, i will buy popcorn and watch you get insulted. and we make a bet on that.
He post the same question is msdn, and got response, and the answer was from 2 people post an article in codeproject.
i am not here to defend on his name, but this site is well knows as insulting people. he got 180 degree in response in 2 forum asked the same question. I guess that d@nish enjoying making fun of new comming people as most of member here (not you).

The point here is that d@nish did not make fun of him. All he did is to give some very good advice. Rabih then reacted as if he had the right to get an answer that suited him. When he didn't he behaved like a spoiled brat and became rude.
All I did is point out his error.
I am pleased that he got a response that suited him, but if he had bothered to read the documentation for the control, he would have had no reason to post to any forum.
Thank you for taking the time to try to explain.

Can you please show me the msdn documentation that shows how to set a different backcolor for some cells (not all) in DateTimePicker or MonthCalendar control ?

MSDN Documentation[^] which the poster didn't check would have answered all his questions and then some.
Obviously if straying from the intended use of the built-in functionality of the control would imply that a custom control that enhances the functionality would be needed. If the poster couldn't figure that out himself then good luck with making an application that does more then pick dates..

Thank you for the link, which it true the msdn documentation, which is wrong that it contain NOTHING about changing or setting a multiple days with different back color.
Mr. EliottA
I am man who respect his words, and I want to put an end to this (with you in specific)
I said "d@nish" insult Rabih with his answer.
You Defend on it.
You argument was "read the msdn documentation" which also failed because it is not mentioned there.
You argument also was Rabih did not make any search on the subject. which is also failed because there is NONE
I challenge you Mr. EliottA to find an easy answer to solve Rabih days backcoloring problem. easy means not re-creating the control and add some property or complex method in it. as you mentioned to him, reading msdn or any other documentation.
Do that, and you will prove to (me) that his question is stupid and simple and should not been asked.
If you could not manage to do it, then all what I said is true.
I trust Dave Kreskowiak, I can send him 50$ in advance if you managed to prove what I asked from you. and I accept Dave to be ruler on this matter. (in case Dave don't mind)
Tell me if 50$ suits you.
(while I was writing this message, I got a response from d@nish. Which I understand from him hr was not meaning to insult but he did not see the question in specif)
My offer is still on.

Come on, I am in your side now  
Please read my other (comming) -hope today- response to you.

D@nish dedicates his time and talent to help others around this site consistantly, your general attitude, and that of your friend, is not welcomed. If you are a member here, then you know the rules. Specific questions, help with snippets of code, whatever. Your friends attitude sucks, and will be ignored at least by me from here on in.

Not asking a simple easy question? should it be complex?
The only rule I can thinK about is in here as almost all other forums have a rule against not giving an answer for homework question or a question is being asked from someone who don't know anything and he got a project from rentacoder site.
which rule you see in Rabih question apply on it?

No, that would mean "works here", dedicates means on his own free will, with no benefit or recognition whatsoever. You might want to brush up on your English.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: We all do that in a way or other.
No, we all don't. The original poster has not, infact he has done the opposite by scolding people, as you have as well.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: what attitude you are talking about ? pleas be specific so i can understand on you.
You attempted defense for the original poster, and the statement Samir Ibrahim wrote: but this site is well knows as insulting people.
As for the rules, well I can quote
The Rules are:
2. Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
8. Be courteous, (ed. note: his follow-up replies where not courteous in the least)
10. You might want to pay attention to this one as well: Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards.
Perhaps now you understand your mistakes as well as your friends. You don't have to be here you know.

That is your opinion built on his current behaviour which you see (as expected) normal and not rude and has no insult at all.

I still see d@nish response is rude and has insulting. that in case he understand the question.

I quote from Rabih question
>I wanted to ask if the "Month calendar" control that is present >in the toolbox in visual studio 2008, can do the same behavior
> if possible please provide some code sample or useful link.
these are the questions asked in Rabih Question. can you point to me where he ask for complete code and he was not specific?

Actually d@nish didn't insult anyone. All he did is tell the guy to try it. It's amazing what you can find out if only you try something first. The attitude d@nish got in reply was totally uncalled for.

again, try what? doing it him self? play with it? search on it on google? he did I don't know how long, and I did and could not find any documentation on it unless it was a complete new control.
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: The attitude d@nish got in reply was totally uncalled for.
You know the difference between vb forums (and especially this site)and the forums I spend 4 years in it (foxite) before I move to vb.net
if someone ask simple/stupid question "How I declare integer variable" and he got 10 response, here the result.
1 person : search the help file
1 person : purchase a book
8 persons : will answer showing him all the possibilities in creating an integer variable.
if that person ask the same question in here, I cannot imagine what kind of medicine he will take after he read the responses.

Would the response have really changed if d@nish's response was "What have you tried?" Somehow, I doubt it.

Here, it would have been the same kind of responses, but leaning more towards buying a book. Why? Because there's a lot more to declaring a variable to hold an Integer other than Dim x As Integer. There's also scope and visibility issues to consider. All of that discuss would take an entire chapter in a book. So, yes, buying a book and learing the basics of the language would be a better answer than Dim x As Integer.
