Here is a quick example to get sitefinity events via the API, bind them to something that is better typed and then easily output to screen.

public static Collection GetMostRecentEvents()
		{
			EventsManager eventsMgr = new EventsManager("Events");

			IList rawEvents = eventsMgr.GetEvents();

			List listOfEvents = new List();

			foreach (Telerik.Events.IEvent eventItem in rawEvents)
			{
				listOfEvents.Add(new DataTransferObjects.EventSummaryDTO(eventItem.Start, eventItem.EventTitle, eventItem.ID));
			}

			var query = from e in listOfEvents
						orderby e.StartTime descending
						select e;

			return new Collection(query.Take(4).Reverse().ToList());
		}

And the object you can easily bind with any datasource, ie a gridview, radgrid, listview, etc

public class EventSummaryDTO
	{
		public EventSummaryDTO(DateTime startTime, string eventTitle, Guid eventId)
		{
			this.EventId = eventId;
			this.EventTitle = eventTitle;
			this.StartTime = startTime;
		}

		public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
		public string EventTitle { get; set; }
		public Guid EventId { get; set; }
	}
