How can I change the color of certain dates in the MonthCalendar control in VB.NET?

event because the base control sets the UserPaint
bit to "False". You will have to subclass the control and override its OnPrint
method instead.
I can't personally recommend any third-party controls that provide this level of customization, but a quick Google search does appear to turn up a few options:
