ScheduleView: Not able to bind Url, Location, Body Properties in Appointment Item Template

[Ayush]

I am using ScheduleView.

I am not able to bind Url, Location, Body Properties in AppointmentItemTemplate, AppointmentItemVerticalControlTemplate, and AppointmentItemHorizontalControlTemplate.

I am able to bind Subject, End, Start etc. but not Url, Location, Body Properties etc.

Do we have any event for ScheduleView, where we can catch data template and work with data on every item bound. (Item Data Bound kind of event)

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Ayush,

Events in WPF are pretty evil. Well not all events but at least those used to mimic bindings. I suppose they are ok for winforms...

You can create a binding and a simple IValueConverter to use in that binding. Then put a break point in the converter and bind a property in your DataTemplate using the converter. Like <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource MyDebugConverter}}" /> and in the Convert method of the coverter you will be able to observ the DataContext and find what you can bind to. Luckily they promise breakpoints to work in XAML one day.

For the templates you are editing I think there are AppointmentProxy objects that are created for optimization purpoes and expose the basic appointment properties. However the one you mention you have to bind through an Apointment reference like "{Binding Appointment.Subject}".

All the best,
