This code snippet illustrates how you can handle the CalendarControl.CustomDrawDayNumberCell event of the CalendarControl to highlight each 12th day of the year, by enclosing it with a hollow violet rectangle.

private void calendarControl1_CustomDrawDayNumberCell(object sender, 
    DevExpress.XtraEditors.Calendar.CustomDrawDayNumberCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Date.DayOfYear % 12 == 0)
    {
        Pen p = e.Cache.GetPen(Color.Violet);
        Rectangle r = e.Bounds;
        r.Inflate(-2, 0);
        r.Offset(3, 0);
        e.Cache.DrawRectangle(p, r);
    }
}
