Put the .dll file in your bin folder.( if the bin folder does not exist add it by right clicking on the root in solution explorer and select Add ASP.net folder | bin)

You can add to your toolbar by right clicking and selecting Choose Items, then browse for the dll and add it. 

  Then add a namespace at the top of the page using the control.

 <%@ Register TagPrefix="ec" Namespace="ControlSample" Assembly="EventCalendar" %>

 Then you should be able to add it on the page.

I did all that but now there is the error:

"There was an error rendering the control.  is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table"

What am I doing wrong?

Can someone post a sample of the code on the ASPX page please?

u get the error because u have to set the following property

DayField = "EventDate"

and this field "EventDate" should come a database field.

ie look at the database which comes with clubstarter. in that database u vl have a table called as "events" and u vill have field "starttime" which is date field

in my case i have a table called "events" and have a field as "eventdate" which is mapped to sqldatasource and mapped to eventscalender control

further u need copy the css of events calendar to ur site to properly render the control.

i had been struggling with this for a long time and finally got it today,

I'm still struggling with this: 

"There was an error rendering the control.  starttime is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table"

 not sure how to fix and don't understand solution above - please help!!!!

It does work locally - although in the design view in VWD 2008 express it does show the same error message

u get this error becuse it expects a field of "DataTime" from table , datatable or any source

once u set the "EventDate" u should be able to get the design view in the aspx page
