1	# DevExpress WinForms Scheduler Control
2
3	`DevExpress.XtraScheduler.SchedulerControl` is a full-featured scheduling and calendar control for WinForms. It supports multiple interchangeable views (Day, Work Week, Month, Timeline, Gantt, Agenda, Year), rich appointment data items with recurrence and reminders, resource-based grouping, and extensible appearance customization. It is designed for scenarios ranging from simple personal calendars to complex multi-resource booking systems.
4
5	The control is backed by a `SchedulerDataStorage` instance which manages the `Appointments` and `Resources` collections. In bound mode these collections are synchronized to a data source via field mappings. In unbound mode appointments and resources are created directly in code.
6
7	## When to Use This Skill
8
9	- Create a calendar or scheduling UI for end users (Day/Week/Month planner, timeline, or Gantt chart).
10	- Bind the scheduler to a database via a DataSet or BindingSource with field mappings.
11	- Add appointments in code (simple, all-day, recurring series).
12	- Configure recurrence rules (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, hourly, minutely).
13	- Attach reminders and handle `ReminderAlert`.
14	- Categorize appointments with labels (background color) and statuses (side strip).
15	- Switch or restrict views at runtime.
16	- Customize appointment appearance without full owner-draw (`AppointmentViewInfoCustomizing`) or with owner-draw (`CustomDrawAppointment`).
17	- Group appointments by resource in Timeline or Day view.

19	## Prerequisites & Installation
20
21	### NuGet Package
22
23	```
24	DevExpress.Win.Scheduler
25	```
26
27	Install via the NuGet Package Manager or the DevExpress Unified Component Installer. The package pulls in `DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v26.1.dll` and related assemblies.
28
29	### Host Form Requirements
30
31	The `SchedulerControl` works in a plain `Form`, but use `DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm` (or `DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.RibbonForm` when hosting a `RibbonControl`) for consistent skin integration and to unlock the smart-tag "Create Ribbon" command.
32
33	### Common Namespaces
34
35	```csharp
36	using DevExpress.XtraScheduler;
37	using DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Drawing; // AppointmentViewInfo, custom draw
38	```
39
40	## Before You Start — Ask the Developer
41
42	If the host agent has a structured question-asking tool available, use it to ask these questions one at a time with clear options — for example, Claude Code's `AskUserQuestion` tool or GitHub Copilot's `askQuestions` tool. If no such tool is available, ask the questions directly in the chat response before generating code.
43
44	1. Data source: Will appointments come from a database (bound mode with `DataSet`/`BindingSource`) or will they be created in code (unbound mode)?
45	2. Resources: Does the scheduler need to show multiple resources (rooms, employees, etc.) side-by-side? If yes, the `Resources` collection and `GroupType = SchedulerGroupType.Resource` are required.
46	3. Views needed: Which views should be available to the end user? Day, Work Week, Month, Timeline, Gantt, Agenda, Year — or a subset?
47	4. Recurrence: Are recurring appointments required? If yes, the data source needs an `int` column for `Type` and a `string` column for `RecurrenceInfo`.
48	5. Reminders: Are reminder alerts needed? If yes, a `string` column for `ReminderInfo` is required in the data source.
49	6. Appearance customization: Is conditional coloring (labels/statuses) enough, or does the app need owner-draw appointments?
50	7. RibbonForm: Should the scheduler be paired with a `RibbonControl` for the built-in view-switcher and appointment toolbar?
