title: xsl for sharepoint calendar
body: <p>I need to create a calendar which will join together data from a number of separate sharepoint team calendars (it's so that the press office in my organisation can see what's happening in each department side-by-side on the same page - what they would like is something like the ui for a shared google calendar).</p>
  
  <p>I have discovered that I can create a linked source in Sharepoint which combines the various calendars and will provide xml output of the data I need. So what I would like now is an example of how to consume some xml and create the standard day/week/month views in a read-only calendar to my users.</p>
  
  <p>What I have discovered is the following:</p>
  
  <p>You can't attach a listviewwebpart - they use caml instead of xslt - they can't consume xml data. They use the object model to consume the list that it belongs to.</p>
  
  <p>No source code for that web part. It's locked in a dll.</p>
  
  <p>The dataformwebpart can consume any xml data source.</p>
  
  <p>Some listviewwebparts can be changed to dataformwebparts but not the calendar.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an example of an xslt calendar which can consume some xml and create the standard day/week/month views to get me going?</p>
