Example

This example shows how to bind a DayView instance to a data source that stores custom appointment (MedicalAppointment) and label (MedicalAppointmentType) objects.

  1. Assign a view model object to the content page’s BindingContext property.
  2. Set the DayView.DataStorage property to a SchedulerDataStorage object.
  3. Set the SchedulerDataStorage.DataSource property to a DataSource object and specify the following properties of this object:

    using System;
    using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
    using Microsoft.Maui.Controls;
    
    namespace SchedulerExample.Models {
        public class MedicalAppointment {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
            public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
            public string Subject { get; set; }
            public int LabelId { get; set; }
            public string Location { get; set; }
        }
