CalendarDayCellInitializeEventArgs.IsWeekend Property

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the processed date is a weekend day.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

public bool IsWeekend { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true if the date is a weekend day; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the IsWeekend property to programmatically specify whether the processed date is a weekend day. You can programmatically control the appearance or behavior of the day, based on this value.

Example

The code sample below demonstrates how you can handle the ASPxCalendar.DayCellInitialize and ASPxCalendar.DayCellPrepared events to conditionally change the manner with which you render calendar days within a single month. The image below shows the result.

Calendar_Events

using System.Xml;
using DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors;
using System.Drawing;

public partial class ASPxCalendar_DayRender : Page {
    XmlDocument xml;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        this.xml = new XmlDocument();
        this.xml.Load(MapPath("~/App_Data/CalendarNotes.xml"));
    }

    protected void ASPxCalendar_DayCellInitialize(object sender, CalendarDayCellInitializeEventArgs e) {
        if(GetNoteNodes(e.Date).Count > 0) {
            e.IsWeekend = false;
            e.NavigateUrl = string.Format("javascript:ShowNotes('{0}')", GetDateString(e.Date));
        } else {
            e.IsWeekend = true;
        }        
    }

    protected void ASPxCalendar_DayCellPrepared(object sender, CalendarDayCellPreparedEventArgs e) {
        if(GetNoteNodes(e.Date).Count > 0) {
            e.TextControl.ForeColor = Color.Black;
            e.TextControl.Font.Bold = true;
        }
    }

    string GetDateString(DateTime date) {
        return date.ToString("M/d/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    }

    XmlNodeList GetNoteNodes(DateTime date) {
        return GetNoteNodes(GetDateString(date));
    }

    XmlNodeList GetNoteNodes(string dateString) {
        return this.xml.SelectNodes(string.Format("//Notes/Note[@Date='{0}']", dateString));
    }

    ...
