It is possible to create my own Calendar classes by inheriting from the Calendar class and then implementing all of the Calendar classes' abstract members. The problem is that when you attempt to assign this new Calendar to the an Exception is thrown:

CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder builder = new CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder(culrureName, CultureAndRegionModifiers.Replacement);
            CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo(culrureName);
            List list = new List();
            PersianCalendar persianCalendar = new PersianCalendar();
            list.Add(persianCalendar);
            list.AddRange(c.OptionalCalendars);
            builder.AvailableCalendars = list.ToArray();
            DateTimeFormatInfo info = builder.GregorianDateTimeFormat;
            //itPersianDateTimeFormat(info);
            builder.GetType().GetField("m_defaultCalendar", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(builder, persianCalendar);
            builder.Register();

the exception is:

NotSupportedException:Custom calendars are not currently supported.

I want to Add a new calendar to AvailableCalendars of .Net Framework to access it in other .net based applications of windows.
my calendar have different calculation rules.it is not JulianCalendar ,ChineseLunisolarCalendar , GregorianCalendar....
these calendars is on CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.AvailableCalendars array.i want to define new calendar type with different calculation rules/methods and add it to CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder.AvailableCalendars and register it on .net , then other .net applications in windows can use it.

Can you provide a sample of the class you derive from the Calendar control? It will really help if you create a sample of the derived control that is the smallest possible that re-creates the problem, and then post that small sample in a reply here.
