                HeaderBackground="LightPink"

Loading Custom Headers

You can collapse the default header of schedule by setting HeaderHeight property of ScheduleHeaderStyle of SfSchedule as 0. Instead you can use your own custom header for it. While navigating views in schedule, text labels available in the header will be changed based on it visible dates, so while using custom header , respective text value can be obtained from the VisibleDatesChanging event of SfSchedule.

C#

//triggering the visible dates changing event.
    schedule.VisibleDatesChanging += Schedule_VisibleDatesChanging; 

    private void Schedule_VisibleDatesChanging(object sender, VisibleDatesChangingEventArgs e)
        {
            DateTime dateTime = ((ObservableCollection<System.DateTime>)e.NewValue).LastOrDefault();
            String month = null;
            var headerString = string.Empty;
            if (schedule.ScheduleType == ScheduleType.Month)
            {
                month = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Calendar.GetMonth((e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<System.DateTime>)[(e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<System.DateTime>).Count / 2].Date));
                headerString = month + "," + " " + (e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<System.DateTime>)[(e.NewValue as ObservableCollection<System.DateTime>).Count / 2].Year.ToString();
            }
            else
                headerString = String.Format("{0:MMMM, yyyy}", dateTime);
        }
