How to load the data from SQLite offline database into SfSchedule?

SfSchedule allows you to bind the data from local database by using SQLite. To achieve this, you need to follow the below steps.

Step 1: Add the database in to the cross-platform projects Resource folder.

Step 2: Create connection with the database using interface in cross platform projects and create interface in PCL project.

C#

Step 3: Create a class which inherits from the ISQLite interface in cross-platform project and get connection with the offline database using below code.

In Android cross-platform project

C#

In iOS cross-platform project

C#

In UWP cross-platform project

C#

Step 4: Create data model for SQLite.

C#

Note: Convert String type into DateTime type when adding items to the local collection from SQLite data model, since SQLite does not support DateTime type.

Step 5: Create SQLite data base table, and populate the data into the table.

C#

Step 7: Create another class other than SQLite data modal class for appointment mapping, since SQLite data modal class does not support certain data types.

C#

Step 8: Store the SQLite data into the collection (Here, Meetings).

C#

Step 9: Bind it to SfSchedule using SfSchedule.DataSource property.

XAML
