            this.radDateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
            this.radDateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "yyyy/MM/dd";
            this.radDateTimePicker1.Culture = info;

To reproduce: 
1. Add RadCalendar/or RadDateTimePicker/ and the MaxValue of calendar control to DateTime.MaxValue.
2. Click on the header and an exception is thrown: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: 'The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime.
Parameter name: months'

Workaround:
To work around this issue we can stop showing this pop-up when one of the three last months of the MaxDate.Year is selected in the RadCalendar ViewChanged event:

By default, if you need to format the cells in RadCalendar, the ElementRender event is an appropriate solution. However, it doesn't process the row/column header cell elements illustrated in the attached screenshot.

Workaround:

How to reproduce:
public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
{
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();


        ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "VisualStudio2012Light";

        this.radCalendar1.ShowRowHeaders = true;
        this.radCalendar1.AllowMultipleView = true;
        this.radCalendar1.MultiViewRows = 2;
        this.radCalendar1.MultiViewColumns = 2;
        this.radCalendar1.ShowFooter = true;
        this.radCalendar1.ShowOtherMonthsDays = false;
    }
}

Workaround: 
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    MultiMonthViewElement viewElement = this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.CalendarVisualElement as MultiMonthViewElement;
    CalendarMultiMonthViewTableElement tableElement = viewElement.FindDescendant<CalendarMultiMonthViewTableElement>() as CalendarMultiMonthViewTableElement;
    if (tableElement == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    foreach (RadElement child in tableElement.Children)
    {
        MonthViewElement monthViewElement = child as MonthViewElement;
        if (monthViewElement == null)
        {
            continue;
        }


        monthViewElement.FindDescendant<CalendarCellElement>().DrawBorder = false;
    }
}

Workaround:
public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
{
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.Calendar.ElementRender += Calendar_ElementRender;
    }

    private void Calendar_ElementRender(object sender, RenderElementEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.Calendar.ZoomLevel == ZoomLevel.Days)
        {
            return;
        }

        CalendarCellElement element = e.Element as CalendarCellElement;
        if (element != null)
        {
            element.WeekEnd = false;
        }
    }
}

Presently RadCalendar does not support Persian calendar style.

To reproduce: use the following code snippet:

            radCalendar1.AllowMultipleSelect = true;
            radCalendar1.ShowRowHeaders = true;
            radCalendar1.AllowRowHeaderSelectors = true;
 If you select several cells, they all are selected. Then, click the header row cell. You will notice that the cells from this row are selected but all previously selected cells are cleared. The attached gif file illustrates the behavior. 

Workaround: use the MouseDown event to store the currently selected cells and then on MouseUp restore the missing selection:

public class MyCalendar : RadCalendar
{
    List<DateTime> selectedDays = new List<DateTime>();

    protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        CalendarCellElement cell = this.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as CalendarCellElement;
        if (cell != null)
        {
            bool isHeader = (bool)cell.GetValue(CalendarCellElement.IsHeaderCellProperty);
            if (isHeader)
            {
                selectedDays.Clear();
                foreach (DateTime date in this.SelectedDates)
                {
                    selectedDays.Add(date);
                }
            }
        }
        base.OnMouseDown(e);
    }

    protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseUp(e);
        foreach (DateTime date in selectedDays)
        {
            if (!this.SelectedDates.Contains(date))
            {
                this.SelectedDates.Add(date);
            }
        }
    }

    public override string ThemeClassName  
    { 
        get 
        { 
            return typeof(RadCalendar).FullName;  
        }
    }
}

Use the following code snippet:

private void radCalendar1_ViewChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Clear();

    RadCalendarDay day = new RadCalendarDay(new DateTime(2014,04,15));
    radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(day);
    PictureBox pictureBox = new PictureBox();
    pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
    pictureBox.Image = Properties.Resources.home;
    RadHostItem hostItem = new RadHostItem(pictureBox);
    day.TemplateItem = hostItem;
}

Clicking the navigation buttons does not navigate you to the respective month.

Workaround: assign the RadCalendarDay.TemplateItem before adding the day in the SpecialDays collection:
private void radCalendar1_ViewChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Clear();

    RadCalendarDay day = new RadCalendarDay(new DateTime(2014,04,15));
    PictureBox pictureBox = new PictureBox();
    pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
    pictureBox.Image = Properties.Resources.home;
    RadHostItem hostItem = new RadHostItem(pictureBox);
    day.TemplateItem = hostItem; 
    radCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(day);
}

Note: if the initial code is used in the ViewChanging event, clicking the navigation buttons leads to freezing the application.

To reproduce: use the following code snippet:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radCalendar1.AllowMultipleView = true;
    this.radCalendar1.MultiViewRows = 3;
    this.radCalendar1.MultiViewColumns = 4;
    this.radCalendar1.AllowMultipleSelect = true;
    this.radCalendar1.ShowRowHeaders = true;
    this.radCalendar1.ShowColumnHeaders = true;
    this.radCalendar1.AllowColumnHeaderSelectors = true;
    this.radCalendar1.AllowRowHeaderSelectors = true;
    this.radCalendar1.ShowViewSelector = true;
    this.radCalendar1.AllowViewSelector = true;

  
    this.radCalendar1.RangeMinDate = new DateTime(2014, 3, 3);
    this.radCalendar1.RangeMaxDate = new DateTime(2014, 7, 27);
    this.radCalendar1.FocusedDate = new DateTime(2014, 5, 5);
}

Please refer to the attached gif file.

Workaround: 
private void Calendar_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    CalendarCellElement cell = this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as CalendarCellElement;
    if (cell != null && cell.Date < this.radCalendar1.RangeMinDate && (bool)cell.GetValue(CalendarCellElement.IsHeaderCellProperty) == true)
    {
        foreach (MonthViewElement monthView in this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.CalendarVisualElement.Children[0].Children.Last().Children)
        {
            {
                foreach (CalendarCellElement monthCell in monthView.TableElement.Children)
                {
                    if (monthCell.Date.Month == cell.Date.Month && monthCell.Date.Year == cell.Date.Year &&
                        this.radCalendar1.RangeMinDate <= monthCell.Date)// &&
                       // (bool)cell.GetValue(CalendarCellElement.IsHeaderCellProperty) == false)
                    {
                        if (char.IsLetter(cell.Text[0]))
                        {
                            //perform column selection
                            if (monthCell.ControlBoundingRectangle.X == cell.ControlBoundingRectangle.X)
                            {
                                this.radCalendar1.SelectedDates.Add(monthCell.Date);
                            }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            //perform row selection
                            if (monthCell.ControlBoundingRectangle.Y == cell.ControlBoundingRectangle.Y)
                            {
                                this.radCalendar1.SelectedDates.Add(monthCell.Date);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

ADD. RadCalendar's TodayButton does not accept shortcuts.

Resolution: 
Add LabelFormat property to change the format of footer. You can use the following code snippet: 
this.radCalendar1.CalendarElement.CalendarStatusElement.LabelFormat = "yy/MM/dd dddd";

To reproduce: 
1. Drag and drop RadCalendar to form
2. Set design time the AllowMultipleView property to true
3. Set design time value of the MultiViewRows and MultiViewColumns properties to 2
4. When save the form or run the project an exception is thrown. 

Workaround: 
Set the AllowMultipleView and MultiViewColumns properties with code.

Currently the user cannot remove the FocusedDate of RadCalendar.

IMPROVE. RadCalendar - expose the RefreshVisuals method of the CalendarElement

To reproduce: use the following code snippet:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radCalendar1.AllowMultipleView = true;
    this.radCalendar1.MultiViewRows = 3;
    this.radCalendar1.HeaderNavigationMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.HeaderNavigationMode.Zoom;
}

FIX. RadCalendar - Incorrect week numbering

Use the following code snippet:

radCalendar1.AllowMultipleView = true;
radCalendar1.MultiViewColumns = 1;
radCalendar1.MultiViewRows = 5;
radCalendar1.ShowRowHeaders = true;

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
CalendarWeekRule weekRule = CalendarWeekRule.FirstDay;
ci.DateTimeFormat.CalendarWeekRule = weekRule;
radCalendar1.Culture = ci;

Expected behavior: when the CalendarWeekRule is FirstDay, 01/01/2013 should be displayed as week 1

Allow RadCalendar to have multiview based on years or months.

Resolution: With our latest release(Q2 2014) we are introducing new navigation mode that has very similar behavior the described one. To take the advantages of new mode you need only to set the HeaderNavigationMode property to "Zoom":
For example : this.radCalendar1.HeaderNavigationMode = HeaderNavigationMode.Zoom;

Adding the following method CalendardDayCollection.AddRange(IEnumerable Of Date) is an easy way to populate the collection

The event should fire so one can customize the appearance on loading.
