How hard would this be?

We have some legacy apps with custom datepickers that display an eighth
column for fiscal week.
That's basically it.  The users want to know the week when they see a
calendar.

Now, if one were to try to recreate this control in vb.net, just how
hard would it be?

Would it be possible to inherit from the datetimepicker, or would this
have to be done from scratch?

Hello cowznofsky,
The MonthPicker (calendar) has a .ShowWeekNumbers property.

Not sure if this is an option for you or not...but....

I use Infragistics controls, they have an UltraCalandarCombo which has
a property you can set called "WeekNumbersVisible" which does exactly
as you described.

It adds an 8th column to the calendar which displays the week number
1-52.

www.infragistics.com

Hope this helps,
Izzy

BTW, their datagrid is really nice too.

Well, thanks to both.
Now, the week number I'm going to display is fiscal week, not calendar
week, but I'll take a look at these.
