Now, every row/column of the time could get different color, e.g. 10:00…10:30 green, 10:30…11:00 blue, etc. The argument object of the GetDayInfo event gains two additional methods AddTimeColor and AddIntervalColor intended to control these colors.

What's new in V6.x?

• Recurrence support - allows setting up repeated appointment. Additionally, there are available controls designed for editing of a recurrence settings in a Microsoft Outlook fashion.

CalendarGo! Bundle contains the following components (The Professional version contains full Source code):

A ComboCalendar control combines all calendar controls (daily, weekly, monthly and scheduler). A linked calendar allows you to change a displayed period of time with a single click of a mouse. Common appointments and resource collection as well as a common events model make programming calendars easy. Microsoft Outlook-like operation and look-and-feel is included. The simple programming interface allows for easy integration with Microsoft Visual Studio using a Visual Design mode and facilitates programming using XML, ADO.NET, Web Services, etc.

MonthlyCalendar. A control allows you to display all-day and longer appointments. It is also possible to display data for multiple resources. Operating a calendar is similar to operating a Microsoft Outlook calendar

A ResourceScheduler control is a WindowsForms control allowing for management of time and resources (hotel rooms, employees, devices, cars etc). It is possible to create a set of linked appointments that allow planning tasks which involve many resources, and implementing a convenient way of moving, splitting and merging such multi-segmented appointments. Time resolution can be set from 5 minutes to one day. The programming interface allows for easy interchange of these controls and this facilitates programming within Microsoft Visual Studio environment, using Visual Design mode, and interfacing with XML, ADO.NET, WebServices, etc.

A DailyCalendar control allows for easy viewing and editing appointment using an interface similar to Microsoft Outlook. Moving, expanding an appointment is possible. An associated text's color and time resolution can be changed. Appointments within a day or whole day appointments are supported. It is possible to create a set of linked appointments that allow planning tasks involving many resources. Simple programming interface allows for easy integration with Microsoft Visual Studio using a Visual Design mode and facilitates programming using XML, ADO.NET, WebServices, etc.

A WeeklyCalendar control makes it easy to plan your tasks within a week. A glance is enough to see what is planned throughout a week. Additional columns make planning tasks for multiple resources possible.

Features:

• Similar to Microsoft Outlook - look-and-feel and interaction methods (with a keyboard or mouse) are similar to the universally known Microsoft Outlook interface:
• Resource manager – allows you to manage available resources in time (hotel rooms, employees performing tasks, availability of various devices, cars, etc.) in a daily view
• Similar to Microsoft Project – make your software using a ResourceScheduler control look like management tools in Microsoft Project
• Full control over color from a Visual Designer — all the controls' colors can be easily adjusted
• Drag & drop support – you can use the mouse to change appointments' time and duration
• It is easy to implement period and resource locking
• Printing support - calendars can be printed or rendered as bitmaps in a WYSIWYG mode or a simplified mode (without a colored background - only frames)
• Defining tooltips - allows you to assign additional information displayed after pointing to an appointment with a mouse. When a full text of an appointment does not fit a frame, a tooltip displays it in an enlarged window
• Images for appointments and resources - for each appointment and/or resource an image to be painted near the text, can be selected from an ImageList
• Simple programming - a simple data model and structure similar to other .NET controls
• LinkedCalendar handling – allows to easily link a standard Windows calendar to quickly set a displayed period of time. A ComboCalendar selects an optimal calendar depending on a number of days selected
• Send data to MS Outlook - there is a ready-to-use function to export data to an ICS file and therefore to Microsoft Outlook directly from a calendar control
• Toolbar handling – a toolbar connected to a ComboCalendar allows a user to quickly change a kind of calendar displayed, move to a current day and appropriate properties allow you to determine available calendars
• Calendar customization – properties controlling calendars views can be set in Design mode
• Common collections – a programmer can control appointments and resources collections directly from a ComboCalendar control. There is no need to implement burdensome data passing between calendars
• Common events model - a ComboCalendar control has the same events, common to all calendars to facilitate programming
• Holiday support - special events facilitating implementing holidays painted with different colours
• On-demand data access - a RequestAppointment event allowing for efficient reading only necessary data, optimising data access from a data source (ex. SQL)
• Edit In Place - allowing for editing an Appointment text directly on a calendar
• Owner draw - allows for implementing one's own algorithm for drawing an appointment on the screen
• Multiple columns for a resource - each resource can have multiple columns assigned. This allows you to describe multiple aspects of its operation
• Design Mode support - control can be modified using properties view in Windows Forms design mode
• Multilingual – using system language settings allows operation in any language (control support multilingual resource files)
• Current day and current time marker - a possibility to display a current day and current time marker. A color of a marker is BaseCalendar.TodayMarkerColor
• Reading from and saving to ADO.NET - A demo program writing Appointments objects to and reading them from an SQL database using ADO.NET and any data structure
