WinForms Scheduler - Customize the work week and display country-specific holidays

This example demonstrates how to add country-specific holidays (Kuwait), customize the work week (from Sunday to Thursday), and change appearance settings of cells within the Date Navigator.

Use the SchedulerControl.WorkDays property to add weekdays and holidays:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  schedulerControl1.BeginUpdate();
  schedulerControl1.OptionsView.FirstDayOfWeek = FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday;
  schedulerControl1.WorkDays.Clear();
  schedulerControl1.WorkDays.Add(WeekDays.Sunday | WeekDays.Monday | WeekDays.Tuesday | WeekDays.Wednesday | WeekDays.Thursday);
  GenerateHolidaysFor2015();
  schedulerControl1.EndUpdate();
}

Use the DateNavigator.CellStyleProvider property to specify a custom cell style provider (v15.2+) to customize appearance settings of Date Navigator cells. The CustomCellStyleProvider class implements ICalendarCellStyleProvider. The UpdateAppearance method changes the background and foreground color of date cells and displays an icon.

Note

You can also use Formatting Services. Scheduler Services allow you to quickly implement common tasks (navigation, selection, formatting of certain captions, keyboard and mouse event handling).
