Example

The code sample demonstrates how to deserialize an appointment, i.e., to restore it from an XML string stored in the data source bound to the scheduler.

Serialization.cs

            scheduler.Storage.Appointments.Clear();
            string xmlAppointment = @"<Appointment Version=""1"" Start=""01/13/2016 04:22:00"" 
End=""01/13/2016 05:53:00"" Label=""5"" ResourceId=""3"" Status=""2"" Subject=""Meet Andrew Miller"" />";
            Appointment objAppointment = AppointmentXmlPersistenceHelper.ObjectFromXml(scheduler.Storage.Appointments, xmlAppointment);
            scheduler.Storage.Appointments.Add(objAppointment);
            scheduler.Start = new DateTime(2016, 1, 13);

Serialization.vb

            scheduler.Storage.Appointments.Clear()
            Dim xmlAppointment As String = "<Appointment Version=""1"" Start=""01/13/2016 04:22:00"" " & ControlChars.CrLf & _
"End=""01/13/2016 05:53:00"" Label=""5"" ResourceId=""3"" Status=""2"" Subject=""Meet Andrew Miller"" />"
            Dim objAppointment As Appointment = AppointmentXmlPersistenceHelper.ObjectFromXml(scheduler.Storage.Appointments, xmlAppointment)
            scheduler.Storage.Appointments.Add(objAppointment)
            scheduler.Start = New Date(2016, 1, 13)
