Added Feature - Adding attributes to an appointment

[Neill Murphy]

with the current appointmentMapping you can set the standard Datefrom, DateTo, Description, Location, Summary etc for the appointment, it would be a nice feature if you could add attributes to each appointment also. just for the likes off people using their own appointmentDialog's that maybe require more detailed appointment information??

Cheers.

Hello Neill Murphy,

Actually the AppointmentMappingInfo class is a convenience class.
You can add as many mappings as you want using the base class (MappingInfo) functionality like bellow:

SchedulerBindingDataSource dataSource = new SchedulerBindingDataSource();
            AppointmentMappingInfo appointmentMappingInfo = new AppointmentMappingInfo();

            SchedulerMapping emailMapping = new SchedulerMapping("Email", "Email");
            appointmentMappingInfo.Mappings.Add(emailMapping);
            dataSource.EventProvider.AppointmentFactory = new CustomAppointmentFactory();

This will work if you have a custom appointment class (and have assigned an appointment factory to create instances of it) that has an Email property.

public class CustomAppointmentFactory : IAppointmentFactory
    {
        #region IAppointmentFactory Members

        public IEvent CreateNewAppointment()
        {
            return new CustomAppointment();
        }

        #endregion
    }

I hope this helps.
