Custom Appointment Class and Different Binding Field

[Yves]

Dear all,

I would like to use a class that implements the IAppointment interface because I would like to store additional information, other than just StartDate, EndDate, etc.

The problem I have is that I haven't found yet a way to bind the RadCalendar to other field than Subject (using {Binding DetailText}) or getting the day number (when I try {Binding Text}).
For example, in my class I have a field named "MeetingRoom", and would like to use it in my template.

Do you have a sample on how to achieve this ?

Thanks a lot for your help
Best Regards
Yves

Hi,

This is the expected behavior. The DataContext of each calendar item is an object instance of the CalendarButtonContentInfo class. To bind to your apointments you need to use the Appointments property with a Binding converter to get the values you want.

Please let us know if you need more help on this.

Kind regards, Valentin.Stoychev

Can you show me a demo of how this is achieved, it would be well appreciated.

Hi Einar,

Thank you for writing.

I have attached an example illustrating how you can display custom information from the appointments by using a converter.

I hope this information helps.
