Appointment Background Color

[Srikanth]

We are using the ScheduleView. Here is the question. We use this to show the surface booked by many different customers. Each customer can be assigned a color ( we store this in our database). The Appointment style selector example is great... but in our case, the colors need to change dynamically. How can we achieve this. I know I can create a XAML and use ResourceDictionary. the problem is that our clients have the ability to swap colors or add new customers and new colors.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Srikanth,

The easiest way to accomplish your requirement is to use custom appointments - just add a new property of type Brush for example to your appointment and bind it in the appointment template.

Hello,

I know this is a novice question ... but I was wondering if you could post the "binding" part of your suggestion? (Or just a link to an example or help documentation that discusses editing the appointment templates with customized bindings?)

Thanks in advance,

Alon
