How to create recurring appointments in the WPF Schedule?

1 min read

Recurrence feature in the WPF Schedule control is used to create recurring appointments. This article explains how to create recurring appointments with a time interval of two days.

Creating Recurring Appointments

Create an appointment by using the following code example.

     ScheduleAppointment appointment = new ScheduleAppointment();
         appointment.Subject = "Team Meeting";
         appointment.Notes = "Daily Recurrence";
         appointment.Location = "Meeting Hall 1";
         appointment.StartTime = DateTime.Now.SubractDays(11);
         appointment.EndTime = DateTime.Now.SubractDays(11).AddHours(4);
        appointment.AppointmentBackground = new SolidColorBrush(                        (Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xD8, 0x00, 0x73)));

Now, generate Recurrence rule by using RRuleGenerator and assign it to the RecurrenceRule property of the above created appointment as given in the following code example.

Note: The RRuleGenerator method is used to create Rule available in the ScheduleHelper class.

       RecurrenceProperties RecProp = new RecurrenceProperties()
//Specifying Recurrence type.
            RecProp.RecurrenceType = RecurrenceType.Daily;
//Enabling EveryNDays  
            RecProp.IsDailyEveryNDays = true;            
//Specifying the interval of 2 days
            RecProp.DailyNDays = 2;
//Enabling the Range count specification
            RecProp.IsRangeRecurrenceCount = true;
//Disabling the No end date 
           RecProp.IsRangeNoEndDate = false;
//Disabling the end date 
            RecProp.IsRangeEndDate = false;
//Specifying the range count
            RecProp.RangeRecurrenceCount = 100;
      appointment.RecurrenceRule = ScheduleHelper.RRuleGenerator(RecProp, 
   appointment.StartTime, appointment.EndTime);

In the above code, recurrence rule is created for generating recurring appointments every 2 days. Now, you need to set the IsRecursive property of the Scheduleappointment to true and add the created appointment to the schedule’s Appointments property as given in the following code.

app.IsRecursive = true; 
    schedule.Appointments.Add(app);
