Multiple View Types

Day and Work Week View
Displays a detailed picture of events across one or more days. The current date/time is indicated by a highlighted date header and the current time mark on the time ruler. The Work Week View displays appointments for the working days in a particular week or across multiple weeks.

Week View
Displays events across one or more week for any given weekly period.

Month and Multi-Week View
Displays events across multiple weeks and allows your end users to browse and edit event information within it.

Timeline, Gantt and Multiple Resource Views

Timeline View
Arrange events and appointments across horizontal timelines. When browsing multiple resources, timelines are displayed one under another. On the top of the view, you can display multiple time rulers with different scales.

Gantt View
Displays events/tasks as horizontal bars along its timescales, shows the current status using percent-complete shading and displays dependency relationships between events/tasks.

Multiple Resource View
Allows end-users to browse multiple schedules (for any entity such as an individual or office location, etc) simultaneously. Once resources have been created, the scheduler will display several parallel timelines. Resource headers can display images and the same event can be assigned to multiple resources.

Built-in Event Management, Recurrence and Reminders

Built-in Event-Appointment Dialogs
All appointment dialogs that ship as part of the Xtra Scheduler Suite are ready to use without writing a single line of code and can be fully customized and extended as business needs dictate.

Built-in Recurring Event-Appointment Dialogs
The Xtra Scheduler Suite provides built-in dialogs, objects and methods for handling recurring event chains. You can easily customize all recurrence related functionality and address even the most complex requirements with minimal effort.

Built-in Reminders
A reminder for any event can be set regardless of whether it has a single occurrence or whether a recurrence pattern has been assigned to it. An appointment with a reminder has a visual indicator and a reminder dialog is invoked when the time has come for the reminder to alert.

Date Navigator and Range Selection Control

Date Navigator Control
Like Microsoft Outlook, the Data Navigator Control provides an intuitive way with which to select dates. You can select a single day or a continuous range of dates using your mouse. Based on your selection within the Date Navigator Control, the WinForms Scheduler is automatically updated and displays the most appropriate view type (Day, Week, Month, etc).

Range Selection Control
Allows end-users to quickly navigate different time periods within the WinForms Scheduler. A set of options allow you to customize the behavior of both the WinForms Range Control and the Scheduler Control whenever these controls are integrated within a project.

Data Binding and Ribbon UI

Data Binding
The Xtra Scheduler can be used in both data aware and unbound mode. The requirements for a data source are essentially the same as those of any other data-aware control. The Scheduler is bound to its data source via the built-in SchedulerStorage component.

Ribbon UI
The suite ships with a UI that fully emulates the Microsoft Outlook experience, with all dialogs necessary to navigate and edit individual events-appointments. This includes full support for the Microsoft Ribbon UI – allowing you to generate the appropriate toolbar items in less than a minute…without writing a single line of code.

Import, Export and Printing

Built-in Data Import and Export
The Xtra Scheduler Suite allows you to import and export calendar data in iCalendar (.ics), vCalendar and XML formats. It can also interact with MS Outlook to export/import/synchronize appointments as needed.

Built-in Printing
You can easily print or export the contents of a schedule using the built-in printing support available in the Xtra Scheduler Suite.

Time Zone Support
All time-dependent data can be stored in a database and translated to UTC (Universal Time) so as to prevent any discrepancies regardless of your location. The Xtra Scheduler Suite can display multiple time rulers with different time zone settings within its Day View.
