    Binding AppointmentStorage to a Collection of Custom Business Objects
    In This Topic
    1. Create a new Silverlight application and add an instance of C1Scheduler to the Page.
    2. Add a new code file to your application and define a custom business object class. Note that the following definition only shows a public interface of this class; the full definition can be found in the C1Scheduler_BusinessObjectsBinding sample included with this product):

      C#
      Copy Code 
      // Business object should implement INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
public class AppointmentBORow : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public AppointmentBORow();
    public string Subject { get; set; }
    public DateTime Start { get; set; }
    public DateTime End { get; set; }
    public string Body { get; set; }
    public string Location { get; set; }
    public string Properties { get; set; }
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

       

    3. Add a class that will hold collection of AppointmentBORow objects:

      C#
      Copy Code 
      // Business objects collection should implement
// INotifyCollectionChanged interface.
public class AppointmentBOList : ObservableCollection<AppointmentBORow>
{
}

    4. Add a custom data source class:

      C#
      Copy Code 
      public class AppointmentsBO
{
    AppointmentBOList _list = new AppointmentBOList();
  
    public AppointmentsBO(){ }

    public AppointmentBOList Appointments
    {
        get
        {
            return _list;
        }
        set
        {
            _list = value;
        }
    }
}

    5. Create an instance of the AppointmentsBO class on a Page containing the C1Scheduler object:

      XAML
      Copy Code 
      <UserControl
    xmlns:c1sched="clr-namespace:C1.Silverlight.Schedule;assembly=C1.Silverlight.Schedule"
    x:Class="C1Scheduler_BusinessObjectsBinding.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:c1="clr-namespace:C1.Silverlight;assembly=C1.Silverlight"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:C1Scheduler_BusinessObjectsBinding"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" Loaded="UserControl_Loaded"
    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480" FontFamily="Segoe UI">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <!-- Create instance of custom class keeping collection of business objects. -->
        <local:AppointmentsBO x:Key="_ds" />
</UserControl.Resources>

    6. Use NestedPropertySetters to set mappings between the properties of AppointmentBORow objects and AppointmentStorage and to set the AppointmentStorage.DataSource property:

      XAML
      Copy Code 
      <c1sched:C1Scheduler x:Name="sched1" >
    <!-- Map AppointmentStorage to collection of business objects -->
    <c1sched:NestedPropertySetter PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.AppointmentProperties.MappingName" Value="Properties"/>
    <c1sched:NestedPropertySetter PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.Body.MappingName"
 Value="Body"/>
    <c1sched:NestedPropertySetter PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.End.MappingName"
 Value="End"/>
    <c1sched: PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.IdMapping.MappingName" Value="Id"/>
    <c1sched: PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.Location.MappingName" Value="Location"/>
    <c1sched: PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.Start.MappingName" Value="Start"/>
    <c1sched: PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.Subject.MappingName" Value="Subject"/>
    <c1sched:NestedPropertySetter PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.DataSource"
 Value="{Binding Path=Appointments, Mode=TwoWay, Source={StaticResource _ds}}" />
</c1sched:C1Scheduler>

    That’s all you need to do. At run time, any change to the AppointmentBOList will be reflected in C1Scheduler and vice versa.
