Hi Roberto,

You should create your own custom appointment class which has BarColor property and to use property mappings to bind it to the schedule. In the template of the ActivityPresenter you should use something like this:

BorderBrush="{Binding DataItem.BarColor}"

I attached the sample application. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Diyan,

thanks to your suggestions I made it work the way I wanted. Let me point out though, in case someone else stumble in the same obstacle, that at first I was going crazy since I could not see anything but empty timeslots. After some headbanging I found the problem: since I prefer to avoid using literals in the INotifyPropertyChanged implementation I don't use:

this.RaisePropertyChanged("Description");

instead I use 

  NotifyPropertyChanged(descriptionChangeArgs);
where descriptionChangeArgs is declared as follows.
  private static PropertyChangedEventArgs descriptionChangeArgs = ObservableHelper.CreateArgs<MyClass>(x => x.Description)
You must have seen many of this implementations around.

I inherit from a base class that implements the INotifyPropertyChanged as follows:
    public abstract class ViewModelBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        #region INotifyPropertyChanged
 
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
 
        /// <summary>
        /// Notify using pre-made PropertyChangedEventArgs
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="args"></param>
        protected void NotifyPropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs args)
        {
            PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
 
            String propertyName = args.PropertyName;
          
            if (handler != null)
            {
                handler(this, args);
            }
        }
 
        /// <summary>
        /// Notify using String property name
        /// </summary>
        protected void NotifyPropertyChanged(String propertyName)
        {
            PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
 
            if (handler != null)
            {
                handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
            }
        }
 
        #endregion
 
    }

So my first attempt has been to directly implement INotifyPropertyChanged in MyAppointment Class and continuig to avoid the use of literals, without results.
Finally I used your class with literals and ...it worked.
Is this expected behaviour?
It's not a big issue but gave me headaches for a couple of hours.
Best Regards
Roberto 

Hi Roberto,

I was trying to reproduce what you are saying but I couldn’t succeed. Can you send a sample project where you are able to reproduce this behavior?

Thanks,

Oops...

my mistake.
Must have been something else. I guess too many hours on the keyboard.

Sorry.
