What's New in .NET MAUI Scheduler 2022 Volume 2

Syncfusion’s .NET MAUI Scheduler control allows you to efficiently create, manage, and display appointments in various views.

In this blog, I will explain the new features of the .NET MAUI Scheduler included in the 2022 Volume 2 release.

Resources in timeline view

You can group appointments based on the resources associated with them in the timeline day, timeline week, timeline workweek, and timeline month views with complete business-object binding, multiresource appointment sharing, and UI customization features.

The .NET MAUI Scheduler also allows you to easily create a calendar for each resource and manage appointments based on its availability. Resources can be people, employees, or rooms, and their tasks or appointments can be easily handled to fit their availability.

For example, you can use this feature in doctor’s appointment management, project planning, conference room booking, and so on.

Refer to the following code example to add resources in the scheduler timeline views.
[XAML]

xmlns:schedule="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler"
  ...
  <Grid>
   <schedule:SfScheduler x:Name="Scheduler" 
                           View="TimelineMonth"
                           AppointmentsSource="{Binding Events}"  
                           AllowedViews="TimelineDay,TimelineMonth,TimelineWeek,TimelineWorkWeek">
     <schedule:SfScheduler.ResourceView>
     <schedule:SchedulerResourceView Resources="{Binding Resources}" 
                                     HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource ResourceHeaderTemplate}"/>
     </schedule:SfScheduler.ResourceView>
     <schedule:SfScheduler.BindingContext>
      <local:ResourceViewViewModel/>
     </schedule:SfScheduler.BindingContext>
   </schedule:SfScheduler>
  </Grid>
