Remarks

Use the CreateAppointment method to create an appointment of the specified type. This method also creates all the required custom fields and adds it to the appointment’s CustomFieldCollection, available via the PersistentObject.CustomFields property. To add custom fields to the appointment manually use the PersistentObjectStorage<T>.CreateCustomFields method.

Subsequently use the AppointmentDataStorage.Add method to add a newly created appointment to the storage.

The following code illustrates how to add multiple appointments in code.

int count = 10;
Appointment[] AppArray = new Appointment[count];
AppointmentCollection AppCollection = new AppointmentCollection();
for (int i=1; i<=count; i++) {
    Appointment newApp = schedulerControl.DataStorage.CreateAppointment(AppointmentType.Normal);
    newApp.Start = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(count);
    newApp.End = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(count * 2);
    AppCollection.Add(newApp);
}
AppCollection.CopyTo(AppArray, 0);
schedulerControl.DataStorage.BeginUpdate();
schedulerControl.DataStorage.Appointments.AddRange(AppArray);
schedulerControl.DataStorage.EndUpdate();
