Remarks

The DxSchedulerDataStorage object is an essential element required for the DxScheduler component operation. It contains source data for the following Scheduler persistent objects:

• Appointments
• Labels
• Status items
• Resources

The DxSchedulerDataStorage defines property mappings that map data fields to persistent object properties. This class also includes API used to retrieve persistent objects and to manage them.

The <DxScheduler> component is bound to the DxSchedulerDataStorage instance by the DxScheduler.DataStorage property.

Create Data Storage and Specify Mappings

Follow the steps below:

1. In the Razor @code block, use the constructor without parameters to create a DxSchedulerDataStorage object.
2. Declare a class (for instance, Appointment) that stores appointment options.
3. Create a collection of status source objects (Appointment class instances) and define their options.
4. Assign the newly created collection to the storage’s AppointmentsSource property to fill the storage with a collection of data objects.
5. Assign a new DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings object to the DxSchedulerDataStorage.AppointmentMappings property. In this object, map the data source fields to appointment properties.

Optionally, you can use the following properties to specify other sources and mappings:

Object Type	Source	Mappings
Labels	AppointmentLabelsSource	AppointmentLabelMappings
Status items	AppointmentStatusSource	AppointmentStatusMappings
Resources	ResourcesSource	ResourceMappings

Note

The DxSchedulerDataStorage object contains built-in label and status collections. The Scheduler uses built-in collections when you do not specify label and status sources and mappings.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to create the DxSchedulerDataStorage object, specify mappings, and assign this storage to the <DxScheduler> component:

Razor

<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"
        }
    };
}

    public Appointment() { }

Retrieve Persistent Objects

The DxSchedulerDataStorage object includes methods to retrieve all kinds of persistent objects from the storage. The methods are listed in the table below.

Method	Description
GetAppointmentItemById	Returns an appointment with the specified identifier from the storage.
GetAppointments	Returns appointments within the specified date-time range.
GetExceptions	Returns all exceptions to the specified pattern.
GetOccurrenceOrException	Returns an occurrence or exception with the specified recurrence index from the recurring series specified by its pattern.
GetOccurrencesAndExceptions	Retrieves the collection of occurrences and exceptions that belong to the specified time interval.
GetPattern	Returns a pattern of the specified occurrence or exception.
GetLabelItemById	Returns a label with the specified identifier from the storage.
GetResourceItemById	Returns a resource item with the specified identifier from the Scheduler’s data storage.
GetStatusItemById	Returns a status with the specified identifier from the storage.

Manage Persistent Objects

The DxSchedulerDataStorage object includes methods that create a persistent object. In contrast with a simple object constructor, these methods create two objects - a persistent object along with a related source object - and establish mapping between them.

Method	Description
CreateAppointmentItem	Creates a new appointment item.
CreateLabelItem	Creates a new label item.
CreateResourceItem	Creates a new resource item.
CreateStatusItem	Creates a new label item.
