How to Make a Visual Basic 2005 Appointment Calendar

Making a Visual Basic 2005 appointment calendar is moderately challenging, but worth the work.

Visual Basic 2005 is a programming tool used by a developer to create a variety of Windows-based applications, such as an appointment calendar. An appointment calendar presents to the user a visual dashboard of dates in year, month and day format, and lets the user enter data into one of the date ranges.

Instructions

1. When logged on to the Windows computer, run the Visual Basic 2005 application. This can be found by clicking "Start," then "Programs."

2. Create a new Visual Basic project by clicking "File," then "New" and selecting "Visual Basic Windows Forms Application." Click "OK."

3. From the "All Windows Forms" toolbox drag a "MonthCalendar" object onto the form.

4. Drag a "TextBox" object onto the form. This holds the text associated with the calendar date.

5. Right-click on the form and from the drop-down list select "View Code."

6. Enter the code that associates the MonthCalendar object with the TextBox object.

7. Click "Debug" to test the newly created Visual Basic application.
