Why does IAppointment NOT implement Category, Importance, TimeMarker?

[Simon]

Hi,

We make extensive use of the ScheduleView control within our app.
As such we have implemented IAppointment to extend our own appointment object.

However it seems strange that Category, Importance and TimeMarker are not part of the IAppointment interface - only AppointmentBase! Our object inherits from Entity - so can't inherit from AppointmentBase also.

We really need the EditAppointmentDialog ViewModel to work fully against our Appointment object and the exclusion of these is bewildering. 

Perhaps this can be included in future releases? Was there a specific reason for excluding it?

Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,

 
Thank you for contacting us.

The TimeMarker, Category and Importance properties are moved to the IExtendedAppointment interface. In other word, the entity object could implement IAppointment, IExtendedAppointment and IObjectGenerator<IRecurrenceRule>.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
George
