To make your application run when Windows starts, put it into the Startup folder. I think there are registry keys you can add it to. To make the tray icon, use the NotifyIcon component, and simply show the form with the calendar upon the double click of the aforementioned component. You can actually find a calendar-like component in the .Net Framework - I think it's something like DateTimePicker. Inherit from that, link it to a collection of dates, and you have your calendar. To make the form display on the right hand side of the desktop, set the Dock property of the form to Right

Thanks For Giving Idea But i am talking to put calender on desktop not on the form's right. On desktop where icons will be on left side and my calender on right side hope u understand what i want.

I see. You could theoretically put some code in the Resize event handler to adjust the size and location of the form. Use these equations: Form.X = Screen.Width - Form.Width Form.Y = 0 Form.Height = Screen.Height Form.Width can be anything you want it to be. This will look best if you set the BorderStyle to None

Nice Idea to calculate the Location on desktop. But i want to bound the calender application object added to Windows Desktop Object in such a way that it behave like icons on desktop. so that when all applications in Taskbar are minimized my application still will be visible on desktop Basic thing i want is access to desktop and put my calender object into that.

Then what you may want is to create a gadget for the Sidebar. This will limit your options to Vista. Alternatively, you could look into shell integration (perhaps a knowledge of COM would help you here) or the ShowInTaskbar property of a form
