Add a Scheduler to a Project

Follow the steps below to add the Scheduler component to an application:

  1. Use a DevExpress Project Template to create a new Blazor Server or Blazor WebAssembly application. If you use a Microsoft project template or already have a Blazor project, configure your project to incorporate DevExpress Blazor components.
  2. Add the <DxScheduler></DxScheduler> markup to a Razor page.
  3. Bind the Scheduler to data.
  4. Add views to the Scheduler.
  5. Specify other Scheduler options (see the sections below).

Read Tutorial: Get Started with Scheduler Watch Video: Get Started with Scheduler

Bind to Data

Follow the steps below to bind the Scheduler component to data:

  1. Create a DxSchedulerDataStorage object. Use the constructor without parameters.
  2. Use the DxSchedulerDataStorage.AppointmentsSource property to fill the storage with a collection of data objects.
  3. Create a DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings object and map data source fields to appointment properties.
  4. Assign the newly created object to the DxSchedulerDataStorage.AppointmentMappings property.
  5. Assign the data source to the Scheduler’s DataStorage property.
 <DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today" DataStorage="@DataStorage">
    <DxSchedulerWeekView ShowWorkTimeOnly="true"></DxSchedulerWeekView>
</DxScheduler>

@code {
    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentsSource = AppointmentCollection.GetAppointments(),
        AppointmentMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings() {
            Type = "AppointmentType",
            Start = "StartDate",
            End = "EndDate",
            Subject = "Caption",
            AllDay = "AllDay",
            Location = "Location",
            Description = "Description",
            LabelId = "Label",
            StatusId = "Status",
            RecurrenceInfo = "Recurrence"
        }
    };
}

If you need to load appointments for a specific time period, refer to the following GitHub example: How to load appointments for visible interval only (lazy loading).

Run Demo: Scheduler - Recurring Appointments

Views

<DxScheduler> can contain the following views:

You should add one or more views to the Scheduler component markup.

<DxScheduler Id="scheduler"
             StartDate="@(DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1))"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage">
    <DxSchedulerDayView ShowWorkTimeOnly="false"
                        DayCount="3"
                        TimeIndicatorVisibility="SchedulerTimeIndicatorVisibility.TodayView"
                        TimeScale="@(new TimeSpan(0,15,0))"
                        WorkTime="@(new DxSchedulerTimeSpanRange(TimeSpan.FromHours(9),
                         TimeSpan.FromHours(18)))"
                        VisibleTime="@(new DxSchedulerTimeSpanRange(TimeSpan.FromHours(8),
                         TimeSpan.FromHours(19)))">
    </DxSchedulerDayView>
    <DxSchedulerWeekView></DxSchedulerWeekView>
    <DxSchedulerWorkWeekView></DxSchedulerWorkWeekView>    
    <DxSchedulerMonthView></DxSchedulerMonthView>
    <DxSchedulerTimelineView Duration="@(TimeSpan.FromHours(36))" CellMinWidth="100">
        <Scales>
            <DxSchedulerTimeScale Unit="@SchedulerTimeScaleUnit.Day" UnitCount="1"></DxSchedulerTimeScale>
            <DxSchedulerTimeScale Unit="@SchedulerTimeScaleUnit.Hour" UnitCount="6"></DxSchedulerTimeScale>
        </Scales>
    </DxSchedulerTimelineView>
</DxScheduler>

When you define multiple views, the Scheduler displays a view selector that allows users to switch between views. The Scheduler initially shows the first defined view. You can also use the DxSchedulerBase.ActiveViewType property to specify the active view. To track view changes, handle the ActiveViewTypeChanged event.

Scheduler - View selector

When you create a custom appointment form (use the AppointmentFormLayout or the AppointmentCompactFormLayout property), you should use the Views property to add views.

Appointment Types

<DxScheduler> supports different appointment types:

  • One-Time Appointment - an appointment with a start and end date.

    Scheduler - Normal appointment

  • All-Day Appointment - an appointment that occupies an entire day or multiple days. It is displayed in the all-day panel.

    Scheduler - All-Day appointment

  • Recurring Appointment - an appointment that repeats on a schedule. It is marked with the “recurrent” icon: recurrence icon.

    Scheduler - Recurring appointment

Manage Appointments

Users can create, edit, select, and delete appointments in the UI. You can also perform these operations in code:

Labels

Users can use color labels to categorize appointments. A label is displayed as an appointment’s background color.

Scheduler - Appointment label

When users create or edit an appointment in the Appointment form, they can select the appointment’s label from the drop-down Label list.

Scheduler - The Label list

The Scheduler has a built-in collection of 11 color labels. To customize this collection, use the DxSchedulerAppointmentLabelItem (for user labels) or DxSchedulerAppointmentLabelMappings (for mapped labels).

Status Items

Users can mark appointments with availability status. An appointment displays its status as a colored strip on the left edge.

Scheduler Appointment Status

When users create or edit an appointment in the Appointment form, they can select the appointment’s status from the drop-down Status list.

Scheduler - Appointment statuses

The Scheduler has a built-in status collection:

  • Free
  • Working elsewhere
  • Tentative
  • Busy
  • Away

To customize this collection, use the DxSchedulerAppointmentStatusItem (for user statuses) or DxSchedulerAppointmentStatusMappings (for mapped statuses).

Resources

You can assign resources to Scheduler appointments to group appointments by category. For instance, if employees are resources, the Scheduler component allows users to browse appointments related to each employee.

Scheduler Resources

Follow the steps below to add and assign resources to Scheduler appointments:

  1. Create a DxSchedulerDataStorage object with a simple constructor and specify appointment mappings. See the DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings class description for more information.
  2. Declare a class that stores resource options (for instance, ResourceObject).
  3. Create a collection of resource source objects (ResourceObject class instances) and define their options:
    • Id - Specifies the resource’s unique identifier.
    • Caption - Specifies the resource’s caption.
    • Color - Specifies the resource’s color. To apply this color to all appointments that correspond to the resource, remove appointment labels.
    • BackgroundCssClass - Specifies the CSS class applied to the resource’s background (the background color, background image, border color, and so on). Note that the Color property value overrides the background color specified in the CSS class.
    • TextCssClass - Specifies the CSS class applied to the text of appointments that correspond to the resource.
  4. Assign the resource collection to the storage’s ResourcesSource property. The Scheduler generates a resource item (DxSchedulerResourceItem) for each item in this collection.
  5. Create a DxSchedulerResourceMappings object and map the resource’s source fields to the resource’s properties.
  6. Assign this object to the storage’s ResourceMappings property.
  7. Group appointments by resource (optional). To do this, set the Scheduler’s GroupType property to SchedulerGroupType.Resource.
<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             GroupType="SchedulerGroupType.Resource"
             ResourceColorInHeaderVisible="true"
             CssClass="mw-1100">
    <DxSchedulerDayView DayCount="2" ShowWorkTimeOnly="true"></DxSchedulerDayView>
</DxScheduler>

@code {
    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentsSource = ResourceAppointmentCollection.GetAppointments(),
        AppointmentMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings() {
            Type = "AppointmentType",
            Start = "StartDate",
            End = "EndDate",
            Subject = "Caption",
            AllDay = "AllDay",
            Location = "Location",
            Description = "Description",
            LabelId = "Label",
            StatusId = "Status",
            RecurrenceInfo = "Recurrence",
            ResourceId = "ResourceId"
        },
        ResourcesSource = new List<ResourceObject>() {
                new ResourceObject() { Id=0 , Name="John Heart", TextCss="text-white",
                                       BackgroundCss="green-background", 
                                       /*Color = System.Drawing.Color.Green*/ },
                new ResourceObject() { Id=1 , Name="Samantha Bright", TextCss="text-white",
                                       BackgroundCss="orange-background", 
                                       /*Color = System.Drawing.Color.Orange*/ },
                new ResourceObject() { Id=2 , Name="Arthur Miller", TextCss="text-white",
                                       BackgroundCss="purple-background", 
                                       /*Color = System.Drawing.Color.Purple*/ },
        },
        ResourceMappings = new DxSchedulerResourceMappings() {
            Id = "Id",
            Caption = "Name",
            Color = "Color",
            BackgroundCssClass = "BackgroundCss",
            TextCssClass = "TextCss"
        }
    };

    public class ResourceObject {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public System.Drawing.Color Color { get; set; }
        public string TextCss { get; set; }
        public string BackgroundCss { get; set; }
    }
}

Appointment Templates

<DxScheduler> allows you to use templates to customize appointment appearance:

To define appointment content and appearance, use HTML markup within the <HorizontalAppointmentTemplate> and <VerticalAppointmentTemplate> tags.

When you build a template, you can use the template’s context parameter to access appointment data. This parameter returns a DxSchedulerAppointmentView object.

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today" DataStorage="@DataStorage">
    <DxSchedulerDayView ShowWorkTimeOnly="true" DayCount="3">
        <HorizontalAppointmentTemplate>
            <div class="card p-1 @context.Label.BackgroundCssClass">@context.Appointment.Subject</div>
        </HorizontalAppointmentTemplate>
        <VerticalAppointmentTemplate>
            <div class="card @context.Label.BackgroundCssClass" style="height: 100%; padding: 0.2em 0.5em; opacity: 0.9;">
                @context.Appointment.Subject
            </div>
        </VerticalAppointmentTemplate>
    </DxSchedulerDayView>
</DxScheduler>

Custom Fields

Scheduler items (DxSchedulerAppointmentItem, DxSchedulerAppointmentLabelItem, DxSchedulerAppointmentStatusItem) contain predefined sets of properties. When you bind a Scheduler to data, you map these properties to data source fields (see the AppointmentMappings, AppointmentLabelMappings, and AppointmentStatusMappings properties).

You can add custom properties to Scheduler items:

  1. Define custom fields in source objects.
  2. Add created fields to the CustomFieldMappings collection.

You can use custom properties in appointment templates to change appointment appearance. To obtain property values, use the CustomFields property. For example, the code below demonstrates how to:

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             ActiveViewType="SchedulerViewType.WorkWeek"
             AppointmentFormShowing="OnAppointmentFormShowing"
             ValidateEditForm="true"
             CssClass="mw-1100">
    <Views>
        <DxSchedulerWorkWeekView VisibleTime="@(new DxSchedulerTimeSpanRange(TimeSpan.FromHours(8), 
                                 TimeSpan.FromHours(19)))">
            <HorizontalAppointmentTemplate>

            }
        }
    };
}

Appointment Edit Form

A Scheduler can show two forms when users create and edit appointments:

  • The compact edit form - Appears when a user creates or edits an appointment.
  • The pop-up (detailed) edit form - Opens when a user clicks the expand button in the compact edit form.

Use the AppointmentFormMode property to specify which form is available for users.

@using Data

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             AppointmentFormMode="SchedulerAppointmentFormMode.EditForm">
    <DxSchedulerWeekView/>
</DxScheduler>

@code {
    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentsSource = AppointmentCollection.GetAppointments(),
        AppointmentMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings() {
            Type = "AppointmentType",

            Description = "Description",
            LabelId = "Label",
            StatusId = "Status",
            RecurrenceInfo = "Recurrence"
        }
    };
}

Custom Appointment Form

Use the following properties to create a custom appointment edit form:

You can use predefined and custom layout items to construct the layout in the same way as when you use the DxFormLayout component.

Note

The current design of the Compact Appointment Form does not support the capability to edit recurrence settings.

Predefined Layout Items

You can add the following predefined layout items to set up the layout. They correspond to the items of the default edit form.

        <DxSchedulerResourceFormLayoutItem/>
        <DxSchedulerDescriptionFormLayoutItem/>
    </AppointmentFormLayout>
</DxScheduler>

You can customize settings of these predefined items. For instance, show or hide an icon, assign a custom icon, change a caption, and much more. Refer to an item’s member list for more information.

Custom Layout Items

If predefined items do not suit your requirements, you can use a custom layout item. Add a DxSchedulerCustomFormLayoutItem to the form layout and use its Template property to define the item content. For example, you can display an editor for a custom appointment property.

The AppointmentFormLayout and AppointmentCompactFormLayout accept a SchedulerAppointmentFormInfo object as the Context parameter. You can use this parameter in the layout item template to obtain information about an appointment’s settings.

If appointments contain custom properties, implement a SchedulerAppointmentFormInfo descendant and declare the corresponding properties in the class. Then, handle the AppointmentFormShowing event and assign a custom descendant instance to the event’s FormInfo argument.

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             ActiveViewType="SchedulerViewType.WorkWeek"
             AppointmentFormShowing="OnAppointmentFormShowing">
    @*...*@
    <AppointmentFormLayout Context="formInfo">
        @*...*@
        <DxSchedulerCustomFormLayoutItem ColSpanMd="12">
            <Template>
                <div style="margin-left: auto; margin-top: 14px;">
                    <DxCheckBox @bind-Checked="@(((CustomAppointmentFormInfo)formInfo).IsAccepted)" 
                                Alignment="CheckBoxContentAlignment.Right">Accept</DxCheckBox>
                </div>
            </Template>
        </DxSchedulerCustomFormLayoutItem>
    </AppointmentFormLayout>

</DxScheduler>

@code {
    public class CustomAppointmentFormInfo : SchedulerAppointmentFormInfo {
        public CustomAppointmentFormInfo(DxSchedulerAppointmentItem AppointmentItem, 
                DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage) : base(AppointmentItem, DataStorage) { }

        public bool IsAccepted {
            get { return (bool)CustomFields["IsAccepted"]; }
            set { CustomFields["IsAccepted"] = value; }
        }
    }

    void OnAppointmentFormShowing(SchedulerAppointmentFormEventArgs args) {
        args.FormInfo = new CustomAppointmentFormInfo(args.Appointment, DataStorage);
    }
    // ...
}

Form Validation

Do the following to enable appointment form validation:

  1. Implement a SchedulerAppointmentFormInfo class descendant and mark appointment properties with data annotation attributes.
  2. Handle the AppointmentFormShowing event and assign a custom descendant instance to the event argument’s FormInfo property.
  3. Set the Scheduler’s ValidateEditForm property to true.
  4. Add the DxSchedulerCustomFormLayoutItem to the form layout and use the ValidationSummary component in the item template to display validation messages.

Important

You should not rely on form validation alone to secure your Blazor-powered app. Form validation is designed to improve usability. A threat actor can bypass validation and send malicious data to the server. To minimize security related threats/risks, you must validate user input using multiple strategies. Refer to the following topic for more information: Validate User Input.

Complete Example

The following example demonstrates how to:

  • Add the IsAccepted custom property to appointments as described in the Custom Fields section.
  • Use the AppointmentFormLayout and AppointmentCompactFormLayout properties to create a layout for the detailed (pop-up) and compact edit forms.
  • Add predefined layout items (Subject, All day, Start, End to both forms; Location and Description to the pop-up form).
  • Add two custom layout items: the first item displays the IsAccepted property’s editor, the second item shows validation summary.
  • Mark the Subject appointment property with the Required attribute.
  • Set the Scheduler’s ValidateEditForm property to true to enable appointment form validation.

Custom Appointment Tooltip

The Scheduler shows a tooltip when a user clicks an appointment. The tooltip displays the appointment subject, start date, end date, and resource (if specified).

Scheduler - Default appointment tooltip

You can use the AppointmentTooltipTemplate property to customize the tooltip’s layout and appearance. The property accepts a SchedulerAppointmentTooltipInfo object as the context parameter. Use the context parameter to access appointment data.

The code below creates a custom tooltip that displays the appointment subject (context.Appointment.Subject) and resource (context.Resource.Caption).

@using Data

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             GroupType="SchedulerGroupType.Date">
    <Views>
        <DxSchedulerDayView/>
    </Views>
    <AppointmentTooltipTemplate>
        <div class="container">
            <span style="vertical-align: middle;">
                @context.Appointment.Subject
            </span>
            @if (context.Resource != null) {
                <span style="vertical-align: middle;">
                    (@context.Resource.Caption)
                </span>
            }
        </div>
    </AppointmentTooltipTemplate>
</DxScheduler>

@code {
    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentsSource = ResourceAppointmentCollection.GetAppointments(),
        AppointmentMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings() {
            Type = "AppointmentType",
            Start = "StartDate",
            End = "EndDate",
            Subject = "Caption",
            AllDay = "AllDay",
            Location = "Location",
            Description = "Description",
            LabelId = "Label",
            StatusId = "Status",
            RecurrenceInfo = "Recurrence",
            ResourceId = "ResourceId"
        },
        ResourcesSource = ResourceAppointmentCollection.GetResourcesForGrouping(),
        ResourceMappings = new DxSchedulerResourceMappings() {
            Id = "Id",
            Caption = "Name",
            BackgroundCssClass = "BackgroundCss",
            TextCssClass = "TextCss"
        }
    };
}

You can also set the ShowAppointmentTooltip property to false to hide the tooltip.

Restrict User Actions

You can prevent users from creating, updating, and deleting appointments. To do this, set the AllowCreateAppointment, AllowEditAppointment, and AllowDeleteAppointment properties to false.

@using Data

<DxScheduler StartDate="@DateTime.Today"
             DataStorage="@DataStorage"
             AllowCreateAppointment="false"
             AllowEditAppointment="false"
             AllowDeleteAppointment="false">
    <DxSchedulerWeekView/>
</DxScheduler>

@code {
    DxSchedulerDataStorage DataStorage = new DxSchedulerDataStorage() {
        AppointmentsSource = AppointmentCollection.GetAppointments(),
        AppointmentMappings = new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings() {
            Type = "AppointmentType",
            Start = "StartDate",
            End = "EndDate",
            Subject = "Caption",
            AllDay = "AllDay",
            Location = "Location",
            Description = "Description",
            LabelId = "Label",
            StatusId = "Status",
            RecurrenceInfo = "Recurrence"
        }
    };
}
