Multiday view greying out weekends

[E]

In multi-day schedule view,the weekends are greyed out. Why is this default behavior, and how do it have them show up as any other normal days?

Hi Anthony,

That is because weekends are special slot type called 'Non-Working Hours'. We have an entire page dedicated to explaining this concept in the documentation, please see Xamarin Calendar Documentation | Non-Working Hours | Telerik UI for Xamarin.

There, you'll find an example that changes the background color of those days using a CalendarSpecialSlotStyle object. If you wanted to make it transparent, just set the BackgroundColor property to Transparent:

<telerikInput:CalendarSpecialSlotStyle BackgroundColor="Transparent" .../>

For more information about Multiday View, visit Xamarin Calendar Documentation | MultiDay View | Telerik UI for Xamarin.

I read that document, but that's not what I'm looking for. I don't need to style the non-working slots, I need to make weekends be considered 'working slots'.

Currently, I display the business hours on the schedule as the DayStartTime/DayEndTime, and I use the WorkStartTime and WorkEndTime to grey out the times within that day that the user is not scheduled to work. This all works great with a couple lines of code. The only issue I am finding is how to enable weekend slots without having to write a ton of extra code.

The link you gave me says that weekends are non working slots "by default". That makes it seem like there's a way to turn that off.

Those links helped me do what I was looking to do. I created a special slot for every day from midnight to midnight that is an "off" color, and then added more special slots for working hours on each day with a white background.
