Hi Will,
Does almost exact what you ask and more I thought, give it a try.

This example becomes longer and longer
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim start As Integer = 4
Dim top As Integer = 25
Dim i As Integer
Dim nowdate As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim mybutton(System.DateTime.DaysInMonth _
(nowdate.Year, nowdate.Month)) As Button
For i = 0 To System.DateTime.DaysInMonth _
(nowdate.Year, nowdate.Month) - 1
mybutton(i) = New Button
mybutton(i).TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
mybutton(i).Width = 40
mybutton(i).Height = 20
mybutton(i).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
mybutton(i).BackColor = Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite
mybutton(i).Location = New System.Drawing.Point(start, top)
mybutton(i).Text = (i + 1).ToString
mybutton(i).Cursor = Cursors.Hand
Me.Controls.Add(mybutton(i))
AddHandler mybutton(i).Click, AddressOf mybutton_Click
AddHandler mybutton(i).MouseHover, AddressOf mybutton_Hoover
AddHandler mybutton(i).MouseLeave, AddressOf mybutton_Leave
start = start + 40
If (i + 1) Mod 5 = 0 Then
top = top + 20
start = 4
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Click _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
MessageBox.Show("The day is: " & thisbutton.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Hoover _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
thisbutton.BackColor = Drawing.Color.AliceBlue
End Sub
Private Sub mybutton_Leave _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim thisbutton As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
thisbutton.BackColor = Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite
End Sub
