Remarks

To bind a scheduler view to an external data source, set the view’s DataStorage property to a SchedulerDataStorage object and assign a DataSource object to the SchedulerDataStorage.DataSource property.

Use the AppointmentsSource, AppointmentLabelsSource and AppointmentStatusesSource properties to specify data sources for appointments, labels and statuses.
