Hi Alessandro, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

By default, ScheduleControl does not have the support to auto update the binding object. So, we are unable to configure to update the changes directly in any db server. So, you can manually update the schedule control appointment changes by using ItemChanged event. By this event, you can get the modified items then it can be update in your server. Please refer to the below code example,  

 

Code Example 

 

this.scheduleControl1.ItemChanged += ScheduleControl1_ItemChanged; 

 

private void ScheduleControl1_ItemChanged(object sender, ScheduleAppointmentEventArgs e) 

{ 

    IScheduleAppointment item = null; 

    switch (e.Action) 

    { 

        case ItemAction.Add: 

        case ItemAction.Delete: 

        case ItemAction.Edit: 

        case ItemAction.ItemDrag: 

            item = e.CurrentItem; 

            break; 

    } 

 

    if (item == null) 

        return; 

 

    DateTime startTime = item.StartTime; 

    DateTime endTime = item.EndTime;  

 

    //Here you can get the modified item values, and you can update this item in your server. 

}

Thank you Shindu,

this is ok for update and synchronize to server after some change, isn't it?
what about getting and serialize from a caldav calendar on the web?
Thank you for your time,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro, 

 

Thanks for the update. 

 

By default, ScheduleControl does not have support for serialization/deserialization. So, you need to manually get the details from serialized file and create the appointment for schedule control using below code, 

 

Code Example 

public class Form1 : Form 

{ 

    SimpleScheduleDataProvider scheduleProvider = new SimpleScheduleDataProvider(); 

    IScheduleAppointment item = dataProvider.NewScheduleAppointment(); 

    item = dataProvider.NewScheduleAppointment();     

    item.StartTime = new System.DateTime(2018, 05, 21);     

    item.EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30); 

    item.AllDay = true; 

    item.Subject = "Business";  

    item.LabelValue = 1; 

    dataProvider.AddItem(item); 

    this.scheduleControl1.ResetProvider(this.scheduleControl1.ScheduleType); 

}

Note: 

If the ArrayListDataProvider has binded with ScheduleControl,  you can use of the below KB link to create the new appointment,
