RAD Calendar

[Pelumi]

I am pretty new to RadCalendar.
How can I bind RadCalendar to a local database?
The aim is for the RadCalendar to show the Database inputs.


Any Help will be appreciated

Hello Pelumi,

Thank you for writing.

RadCalendar offers FocusedDate property which indicates the current selection. If I understand your requirement correctly, you are trying to bind a DateTime property coming from the data base to the RadCalendar. For this purpose you can use simple data binding. Here is a sample code snippet demonstrating how to bind the RadCalendar.FocusedDate property to the custom Item.CreatedOn property. When you update the custom object's property, the RadCalendar.FocusedDate property will be refreshed:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    Item item = new Item(123,"Custom Item", new DateTime(1990,04,25));
    this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = item;

    this.radCalendar1.DataBindings.Add("FocusedDate", item, "CreatedOn",
        true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
}

public class Item : System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private int id;
    private string name;
    private DateTime createdOn;

    public Item(int id, string name, DateTime createdOn)
    {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.createdOn = createdOn;
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }

    public int Id
    {
        get
        {
            return this.id;
        }
        set
        {
            this.id = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("Id");
        }
    }

    public string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return this.name;
        }
        set
        {
            this.name = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("Name");
        }
    }

    public DateTime CreatedOn
    {
        get
        {
            return this.createdOn;
        }
        set
        {
            this.createdOn = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("CreatedOn");
        }
    }
}
