Bootstrap Controls for ASP.NET Core are in maintenance mode. We don’t add new controls or develop new functionality for this product line. Our recommendation is to use the ASP.NET Core Controls suite.

$1 Pass a collection of appointment data objects to the BindAppointments method to display appointments within the Scheduler.

View

@model IEnumerable<ToDoTask>
@(Html.DevExpress()
    .BootstrapScheduler<ToDoTask>("scheduler1")
    .Start(new DateTime(2018, 05, 21))
    .Storage(storage => storage
        .Appointments(appointments => appointments
            .Mappings(map => map
                .AppointmentId(a => a.Id)
                .Subject(a => a.Text)
                .Start(a => a.StartDate)
                .End(a => a.EndDate))))
    .BindAppointments(Model)
    .Routes(routes => routes
        .MapRoute(r => r
            .Controller("Scheduler")
            .Action("DataBinding"))))

Controller

public partial class SchedulerController : Controller {
    public SchedulerController(ToDoListDataContext todoListDataContext) {
        ToDoListDataContext = todoListDataContext;
    }
    protected ToDoListDataContext ToDoListDataContext { get; }

    public IActionResult DataBinding() {
        return PartialView("SchedulerPartial", ToDoListDataContext.Get());
    }
}

Note that to be able to obtain and save appointments to/from the data storage, you also need to specify at least the following mandatory data field mappings:

• AppointmentId
• Start
• End

You also need to define a separate route to process appointment editing:

View

@model IEnumerable<ToDoTask>
@(Html.DevExpress()
    .BootstrapScheduler<ToDoTask>("scheduler1")
    ...
    .Routes(routes => routes
        .MapRoute(r => r
            .Controller("Scheduler")
            .Action("DataBinding"))
        .MapRoute(r => r
            .RouteType(SchedulerRouteType.EditAppointment)
            .Controller("Scheduler")
            .Action("ProcessAppointmentsChanges"))))
