My ex-coworker recently left the company. Much of his work is not completed or only works when running from the compiler (not as an exe). Anyway, he did this thing with taking the date and creating a little icon which shows the month abreviated at the top and the day below. He used GDI+ to create the graphic. He did a similar thing with a circle to show the number of emails one has received. His email one works, but the calander pic does not. I get a blank one. I was wondering if anyone has ran into some code already written that does this function and could point me in that direction or maybe suggest an easier (more reliable) method of doing the same thing?
