calendarWithBlackoutDates.DisplayDateEnd = new DateTime(2009, 1, 31);
calendarWithBlackoutDates.SelectionMode = CalendarSelectionMode.MultipleRange;

// Add the dates that are not selectable.
calendarWithBlackoutDates.BlackoutDates.Add(
    new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 2), new DateTime(2009, 1, 4)));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.BlackoutDates.Add(
    new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 9)));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.BlackoutDates.Add(
    new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 16)));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.BlackoutDates.Add(
    new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 23), new DateTime(2009, 1, 25)));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.BlackoutDates.Add(
    new CalendarDateRange(new DateTime(2009, 1, 30)));

// Add the selected dates.
calendarWithBlackoutDates.SelectedDates.Add(
    new DateTime(2009, 1, 5));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.SelectedDates.AddRange(
    new DateTime(2009, 1, 12), new DateTime(2009, 1, 15));
calendarWithBlackoutDates.SelectedDates.Add(
    new DateTime(2009, 1, 27));
