DxSchedulerSourceObjectContainer.SourceObject Property

A data source object to which a Scheduler item is bound.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public object SourceObject { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	The data source object.

Remarks

You can use the SourceObject property to access the target appointment’s source object when you manage appointments in code.

The code below does the following:

• Creates a DxSchedulerDataStorage object, sets its AppointmentsSource to null.
• Assigns the created data storage object to the Scheduler’s DataStorage property.
• In the OnInitialized lifecycle method, creates a new DbContext and loads data from the DbContext to the DxSchedulerDataStorage.AppointmentsSource property.

• Handles AppointmentInserted, AppointmentUpdated, and AppointmentRemoved events to implement CRUD operations in the Scheduler. To access a target appointment, the SourceObject property is used.

  You can also use AppointmentInserting, AppointmentUpdating, and AppointmentRemoving events to implement CRUD operations. These events fire before modifications are applied to Scheduler’s appointment collection. You can access the database or service and validate that an appointment was in fact inserted/updated/removed. If validation is successful, pass the appointment further. If not, set the event argument’s Cancel property to true and display an error message (the service is unavailable or the appointment conflicts with another appointment in the database).

• Uses the DbContext.Dispose method to track the context for the component lifetime.
