Janus Schedule Control

  

 

for Microsoft .NET

  
       
         
 
The Janus Schedule Control for .NET is a 100% C#, managed control patterned after Outlook’s Calendar View.

The control can present appointments or items arranged on a calendar, similar to a day planner in paper form. You can view items in different blocks of time or “Views”, which represent Days, Work Weeks, Weeks and Months. Since all the Views are part of the same Schedule control you can easily switch between them.

An appointment in the Janus Schedule Control can be related to an owner, and the different Views in the control are capable to present the appointments in relation to its owners.
 
         
 

 
         
 

Appointments in the Schedule Control can be moved and resized by the user as in MS Outlook.

The Schedule Control library also has a “Calendar” control that can be used to navigate between the different views and dates in the schedule control and also be used as a target for automatic re-scheduling of appointments via drag and drop.

  
         
 

 
         
 

The Janus Schedule Control can be bound to any table in a DataSet or to any other data source that supports IList, ITypedList or IBindingList interfaces.

The Janus Schedule Control allows you to specify which member of the data source will be used as Text, Owner, StartTime and EndTime properties of an appointment. In addition to this, the control exposes a Fields Collection that permits you to map all the members in the data source to an Appointment in the Schedule.

Besides working with a data source, the Schedule Control has several methods that permit you to work with the appointments collection in a totally unbound fashion. LoadAppointments and SaveAppointments methods allow you to persist and restore the appointments of the schedule control.

The Janus Schedule control for .NET also offers many of the advanced features present in the Janus GridEX Control for .NET like FormatStyles (supporting Gradients, Blend colors and Transparency), FormatConditions, FilterConditions and the ability to save and restore Layouts.

  
         
 
   

A standalone Janus CalendarCombo Control used to edit date and time values is also included with the Schedule. With this control, the user can select a date from the calendar dropdown, change the date using an up-down control or type it directly in the control and the control will enforce the date format you specified in it. The control exposes a BindableValue property that allows you to bind it to any Date field even if the field were DBNull.
   
 
         
 

The Schedule Control for .NET library also includes a SchedulePrintDocument component to print the data presented by the control. 

With the SchedulePrintDocument component you can define page headers and footers for your documents. The SchedulePrintDocument component can be used with the PrintPreviewDialog or PrintPreviewControl to provide your apps with a customizable Preview Window.
