VB Calendar - Populate with mysql events table

I have a table with dates in mysql that I want to populate a vb calendar with as events, or "active" days.

Using a sql statement with something like

Select event, date FROM dateTable WHERE event = eventType.SelectedValue

how do I put these as events on my calender

<asp:Calendar runat="server" id="calendar1"></asp:calendar>

I'm sure I use data:repeater in some way I just can't figure it out.

Here's MSDN's article on Displaying Selected Dates From a Database in the Calendar Control.

The modifications you'd need are:

• swapping out the SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient)code with the MySQL Connector for .NET (or your favorite MySQL library for .NET).
• suggested improvements might be scrapping the DataSet, and go with a local MySqlDataReader instead
