  Hello Rahul,
  
  To achieve your goal you have to use the EditAppointmentStyle property of the control.
  Please refer to the following help articles for more details:
  http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radscheduler-styling-edit-appointment-dialog.html
  http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/scheduler-templates.html
  Then, to set a DataContext of the Dialog you can assign it to the Grid, which holds the controls:
  

  <Grid VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"   

                          DataContext="{TemplateBinding EditedAppointment}"

                          Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">

  
  If you need further assistance please let us know.
  
  Kind regards,

  Sorry can you elaborate? Where to define EditedAppointment?
  
  I'm using a view model for the scheduler (SchedulerViewModel). Inside this view model I defined a property called EditedAppointmentViewModel.
  
  I need to use this EditedAppointmentViewModel as the data context of the AppointmentDialogWindow.
  
  How to define the binding?
  
  Thanks.

  Anyway, I was in a rush to solve it so I did it in a quick and dirty way.
  
  I addeda  Grid_Loaded event handler to the Grid and inside I assigned the view model (DataContext)'s property to the Grid as DataContext. This way, every time the user open an appointment dialog window, I get to update the view model of it.
  
  Just to put it down here. All feedbacks are welcome.
