Hi,
Do you think one can purchase this calendar control for 15-20$?

Are you trying to do some sly advertising or are you asking us to value your software?

Does it support Windows and Web Apps?

Well its interface certainly would put me off.

[sridharavijay]

Well,
There is no point in advertising things here... I have been member for somany years...I know there are many experts out there who can make better things.... I just asked advice if I can market it with such a value, and you are the best people to judge...

It works on Windows applications purely .net 2.0 code. Well, the colors and Borderstyles can be altered as you like.

Thanks

I don't think you'll drum up any business. There are plenty of more extensive calendar applications on the web for the same/cheaper/free price.

I think that if you have a website that giving something away for free can help draw traffic. Then if you have a something more unique to offer they will be more inclied to purchase that.

RobDog is 100% correct. It's difficult to just jump into selling controls as there are going to be many better controls.

Having said that, your control looks bad with those styles. If you do sell it (or at least have screenshots of it) make sure you clean up the styling. Also, I'm willing to bet there are open source versions of .Net calendar controls so you may want to go for something more niche or improve your control so it has more features than the open-source alternatives.

As for buying it... I don't buy .Net controls. I still haven't found anything I need to do that required a control that took a long time to complete (other than a custom Web control but that was part of my job ). Not saying there isn't a market for controls but I personally haven't needed any third party controls... yet.
