11 Jun 202612 minutes to read

This section explains how to populate the appointments to the Scheduler as well as the essential aspects for getting started with the Scheduler and also provides a walk-through to configure the .NET MAUI Scheduler control in a real-time scenario. Follow the steps below to add a .NET Scheduler control to your project.

To quickly get started with the .NET MAUI Scheduler, watch this video.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 9 SDK or later is installed.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio 2022 (v17.3 or later) or Visual Studio 2026 (18.0.0) or Visual Studio Code. For Visual Studio Code users, ensure that the .NET MAUI workload is installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a New .NET MAUI Project

  1. Go to File > New > Project and choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  2. Name the project and choose a location. Then click Next.
  3. Select the .NET framework version and click Create.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Scheduler NuGet Package

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored.

Step 3: Register the handler

The Syncfusion.Maui.Core NuGet is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;
namespace GettingStarted
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

            builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();
            builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("Segoe-mdl2.ttf", "SegoeMDL2");
            });

            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Scheduler view

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler namespace into your code.
  2. Initialize SfScheduler.
<ContentPage 
        ...
        xmlns:scheduler="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler">

    <scheduler:SfScheduler />
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;
...

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        SfScheduler scheduler = new SfScheduler();
        this.Content = scheduler;
    }
}

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 7 SDK or later is installed.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio Code.
  3. Ensure that the .NET MAUI extension is installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a New .NET MAUI Project

  1. Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type .NET:New Project and enter.
  2. Choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  3. Select the project location, type the project name and press Enter.
  4. Then choose Create project.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI Scheduler NuGet Package

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored. If not, Open the Terminal in Rider and manually run: dotnet restore

Step 3: Register the handler

The Syncfusion.Maui.Core NuGet is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;
namespace GettingStarted
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

            builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();
            builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("Segoe-mdl2.ttf", "SegoeMDL2");
            });

            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Scheduler view

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler namespace into your code.
  2. Initialize SfScheduler.
<ContentPage 
        ...
        xmlns:scheduler="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler">

    <scheduler:SfScheduler />
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;
...

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        SfScheduler scheduler = new SfScheduler();
        this.Content = scheduler;
    }
}

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of JetBrains Rider.
  2. Install .NET 8 SDK or later is installed.
  3. Make sure the MAUI workloads are installed and configured as described here.

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

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored. If not, Open the Terminal in Rider and manually run: dotnet restore

Step 3: Register the handler

The Syncfusion.Maui.Core NuGet is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;
namespace GettingStarted
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

            builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();
            builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("Segoe-mdl2.ttf", "SegoeMDL2");
            });

            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Add .NET MAUI Scheduler view

  1. To initialize the control, import the Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler namespace into your code.
  2. Initialize SfScheduler.
<ContentPage 
        ...
        xmlns:scheduler="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler">
        
    <scheduler:SfScheduler />
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Scheduler;
...

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        SfScheduler scheduler = new SfScheduler();
        this.Content = scheduler;
    }
}

Step 5: Adding the scheduler appointments

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>
// Creating an instance for the scheduler appointment collection.
var appointment = new ObservableCollection<SchedulerAppointment>();

//Adding scheduler appointment in the schedule appointment collection. 
appointment.Add(new SchedulerAppointment()
{
    StartTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(9),
    EndTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(11),
    Subject = "Client Meeting",
    Location = "Hutchison road",
});

//Adding the scheduler appointment collection to the AppointmentsSource of .NET MAUI Scheduler.
this.scheduler.AppointmentsSource = appointment;
