Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI project

  1. Go to File > New Solution, Select .NET (C#) and choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  2. Enter the Project Name, Solution Name, and Location.
  3. Select the .NET framework version and click Create.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI Scheduler NuGet package

Step 3: Register Syncfusion handler

Make sure to add the namespace.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

Register the Syncfusion core handler in your CreateMauiApp method of MauiProgram.cs file to use Syncfusion controls.

builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();

Step 4: Import Scheduler namespace

Add the following namespace in your XAML or C#.

xmlns:scheduler="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler"
using Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;

Step 5: Add the Scheduler component

The .NET MAUI Scheduler has a built-in capability to handle the appointment arrangement internally based on the SchedulerAppointment collections. Allocate the collection generated to the Appointments property.

The SchedulerAppointment is a class that includes the specific scheduled appointment. It has some basic properties such as StartTime, EndTime, Subject, and some additional information about the appointment can be added with Notes, Location, and IsAllDay properties.

<scheduler:SfScheduler x:Name="Scheduler"
                       View="Week"
                       DisplayDate="{Binding DisplayDate}"
                       AppointmentsSource="{Binding Events}"
                       AllowedViews="Day,Week,WorkWeek,Month,TimelineDay,TimelineWeek,TimelineWorkWeek,TimelineMonth">
        <scheduler:SfScheduler.BindingContext>
            <local:SchedulerViewModel />
        </scheduler:SfScheduler.BindingContext>
    </scheduler:SfScheduler>
var appointment = new ObservableCollection<SchedulerAppointment>();
appointment.Add(new SchedulerAppointment()
{
    StartTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(9),
    EndTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(11),
    Subject = "Client Meeting",
    Location = "Hutchison road",
});

this.scheduler.AppointmentsSource = appointment;
