In your homepage controller.
function UpcomingEvents()
{
return DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->upcomingEvents(5);
}<% control UpcomingEvents %>
<h3>$_Dates</h3>
<h4><a href=$Event.Link">$Event.Title</a></h4>
<% end_control %> -

There should be a recentEvents() function, as well. Try it. If not, I'll add it in.
Also, FYI, the second argument of those functions is a filter in case you want to do something like upcomingEvents(5, "Category = 'Blah')

i tried the following but didn't seem to work.
function RecentEvents()
{
return DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->RecentEvents(5);
}also i am trying to format the date, the same as i did for my latest news
<div class="month">$Date.Format(M)</div>
<div class="day">$Date.Format(d)</div>
i have tried
<div class="month">$_Dates.Format(M)</div>
<div class="day">$_Dates.Format(d)</div>
but does not work and i get
Fatal error: Call to a member function XML_val() on a non-object

$StartDate and $EndDate are the properties you're looking for. $_Dates is a magic method that returns a human readable date range (e.g. October 10-20, 2009) in microformat compliant markup.
