DxSchedulerResourceItem Class

An appointment’s resource.

Assembly : DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

Declaration

csharp

public class DxSchedulerResourceItem :
    DxSchedulerSourceObjectContainer

The following members return DxSchedulerResourceItem objects:

Remarks

The DxSchedulerResourceItem object is a resource item that can be assigned to appointments grouped by category.

Follow the steps below to add and assign resources to Scheduler appointments:

Use the constructor without parameters to create a DxSchedulerDataStorage object. See the DxSchedulerAppointmentMappings class description for additional information.
Declare a class that stores resource options (for instance, ResourceObject).
Create a collection of resource source objects (ResourceObject class instances) and define their options:

Id - Specifies the resource’s unique identifier.
Caption - Specifies the resource’s caption.
Color - Specifies the resource’s color. To apply this color to all appointments that correspond to the resource, remove appointment labels.
BackgroundCssClass - Specifies the CSS class applied to the resource’s background (the background color, background image, border color, and so on). Note that the Color property value overrides the background color specified in the CSS class.
TextCssClass - Specifies the CSS class applied to the text of appointments that correspond to the resource.

Assign the newly created collection to the storage’s ResourcesSource property to fill the storage with a collection of data objects. The Scheduler generates a resource item (DxSchedulerResourceItem) for each item in this collection.
Assign a new DxSchedulerResourceMappings object to the DxSchedulerDataStorage.ResourceMappings property. In this object, map the data source fields to appointment properties.
Optional. Group appointments by resource. To do this, set the Scheduler’s GroupType property to SchedulerGroupType.Resource.

An appointment gets its background color from the DxSchedulerResourceItem.Color or DxSchedulerResourceItem.BackgroundCssClass property. If you specify an appointment’s label, its color overrides the resource color.

When users create or edit an appointment in the Appointment form, they can select the appointment’s resource from the drop-down Resource list.

If an appointment has no associated resource (the Resource drop-down list is empty), it belongs to all resources.
