This document introduces SchedulerControl and describes its main capabilities. It contains a reference table that lists the control's main members, explains its main functionality and allows you to easily identify necessary APIs.
#What Is SchedulerControl?
SchedulerControl is the main control of the DXScheduler Suite for Silverlight. It is represented by the SchedulerControl class instance. It is a visual control that is used to implement interactions between end-users and the scheduling application. The main purpose of this control is to show schedule data (represented via appointments) on a form using one of the possible data views. A view can be grouped either by resources specified for appointments or by appointment dates. The SchedulerControl control also enables end-users to create, edit and delete appointments together with performing other actions to schedule their timetables.
#How Does SchedulerControl Look?
Since SchedulerControl shows appointment data using different views, the appearance of the control usually depends upon the common appearance of the corresponding view. For instance, the SchedulerControl will show its data in the Day View as shown below.
