This topic explains how to bind the control to a data source using ScheduleListDataSource.
You can bind the XamScheduler control to a data source using its DataSource property. This property accepts objects of type ScheduleDataSource. An implementation of this abstract base class is the ScheduleListDataSource class.
The following table lists the main properties you can use to configure an instance of the ScheduleListDataSource:
The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a XamScheduler control in XAML and set its data source to an instance of ScheduleListDataSource. Also the ScheduleListDataSource's appointments and resources are bound to the Appointments and Resources fields respectively in the binding context.
In XAML:
<ig:XamScheduler>
<ig:XamScheduler.DataSource>
<ig:ScheduleListDataSource
AppointmentItemsSource="{Binding Appointments}"
ResourceItemsSource="{Binding Resources}" />
</ig:XamScheduler.DataSource>
</ig:XamScheduler>The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a ScheduleListDataSource with one appointment and set it on a XamScheduler control named "scheduler1":
In C#:
ObservableCollection<Appointment> appointments = new ObservableCollection<Appointment>();
appointments.Add(new Appointment()
{
Start = DateTime.Now,
End = DateTime.Now,
Subject = "Daily Meeting 1",
Location = "Conference Room #1",
ResourceId = "ID1",
});
ScheduleListDataSource listDataSource = new ScheduleListDataSource();
listDataSource.AppointmentItemsSource = appointments;
this.scheduler1.DataSource = listDataSource;
