ICalendarImporter.AppointmentItemImporting Event

Occurs before the ICalendarImporter imports an appointment.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.iCalendar

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Scheduling

Declaration

C#

public event AppointmentItemImportingEventHandler AppointmentItemImporting

VB.NET

Public Event AppointmentItemImporting As AppointmentItemImportingEventHandler

Event Data

The AppointmentItemImporting event's data class is DevExpress.Xpf.Scheduling.iCalendar.AppointmentItemImportingEventArgs.

Remarks

Handle the AppointmentItemImporting event when you implement custom appointment import. This event allows you to decide what to do if conflicting items are found, and to select appointments to import (set Cancel to true to skip an appointment).

Example: Import a Custom Appointment Status

The following code snippet reads the custom X-DEVEXPRESS-STATUS property and uses its value to set the status of the imported appointment:

csharp

void OnAppointmentItemImporting(object sender, AppointmentItemImportingEventArgs e) {
    var statusProperty = e.CustomProperties["X-DEVEXPRESS-STATUS"];
    if (statusProperty == null)
        return;
    var propertyValue = statusProperty.Value;
    //logic to calculate the custom value
    e.Appointment.StatusId = calculatedValue;
}
