AppointmentMappings.Start Property

Specifies the mapping that binds the appointment’s AppointmentItem.Start property to the data source field.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public Mapping Start { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Start As Mapping

Property Value

Type	Description
Mapping	A Mapping object that specifies the bound data field and converter.

Remarks

Use the Start property to bind the appointment’s AppointmentItem.Start property to a data field. The data field is obtained from the data source specified by the DataSource.AppointmentsSourceProperty property.

Note that if a SchedulerControl is used in bound mode (that is its data is stored in a database), the Start property needs to be bound to the corresponding dataset field.

Tip

Use the Mapping.Converter property to register a value converter for a custom storing format.
