Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v14.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public DateTime Start { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Start As Date

Property Value

Type	Description
DateTime	A DateTime value that is the start of the appointment.

Remarks

The Start property and the Appointment.Duration property specify the value of the Appointment.End property for the appointment. This value is always calculated as End = Start + Duration.

NOTE

If the Appointment.AllDay property is set to true, then the start date of the appointment is the Date of the Start, and the start time of the appointment is 0:00.

Examples

This example demonstrates how to copy the selected appointments to the following month. A copy of an existing appointment is created via the Appointment.Copy method. After a new appointment has been created, its start time is increased by one month via the Appointment.Start property.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraScheduler;
// ...

// Loop through all the selected appointments.
for(int i = 0; i < schedulerControl1.SelectedAppointments.Count; i++) {
   Appointment apt = schedulerControl1.SelectedAppointments[i];

   // Copy the current appointment.
   Appointment newApt = apt.Copy();

   // Add one month to the new appointment's start time.
   newApt.Start = apt.Start.AddMonths(1);

   // Add the new appointment to the appointment collection.
   schedulerControl1.Storage.AppointmentStorage.Add(newApt); 
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraScheduler
' ...

Dim i As Integer
' Loop through all the selected appointments.
For i = 0 To schedulerControl1.SelectedAppointments.Count-1
   Dim apt As Appointment = schedulerControl1.SelectedAppointments(i)

   ' Copy the current appointment.
   Dim newApt As Appointment = apt.Copy()

   ' Add one month to the new appointment's start time.
   newApt.Start = apt.Start.AddMonths(1)

   ' Add the new appointment to the appointment collection.
   schedulerControl1.Storage.AppointmentStorage.Add(newApt)
