Winforms C# Outlook Style Calendar

Question

I have been tasked at re-creating an MS Access calendar in a winforms C# application. What I had created for the users - they hate. Basically I was doing a data-dump into a DataGridView where they could search by month, day or employee to get the Calendar events.

They have asked for a redesign to make this look like a Outlook Style Calendar front-end with a SQL server back-end design. Let me say that there is zero budget for this project so purchasing components is not an option for us.

Has anyone had to create an Outlook style calendar that allows for multiple events on a given day, etc? Do you have any examples of how to proceed? Or any suggestions?

Codeproject has several WinForms calendars, e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/docview/WinFormsCalendarView.aspx
