We have released version 3.5 of MindFusion.Scheduling for WPF. The new version includes:

JSON serialization
Schedules can now be serialized in JSON format. This can be used for interoperability with MindFusion JavaScript scheduling library, or for general storage in JSON files or databases. To serialize a Schedule to a JSON string, call its SaveToJson method. To deserialize a schedule back from its JSON representation, call the LoadFromJson method. Custom item classes can implement JSON serialization for their additional properties by overriding the SaveTo(JsonObject) and LoadFrom(JsonObject) methods of base Item class. Such classes must be registered for serialization by calling the RegisterItemClass method and providing a string identifier for the clientClass parameter.

RangeSelector component
The Calendar control can integrate with the new RangeSelector component from MindFusion.Common.Wpf assembly in order to implement a timeline in the Resource view. The new ResourceTimeline sample project illustrates this integration.


Miscellaneous

• The ShowPaddingItems property specifies whether to show items in padding days of month views.
• GetFirstDate, GetFirstVisibleDate, GetLastDate, GetLastVisibleDate methods added to Calendar.

Installer for the latest version can be downloaded here, or from the clients area on our site:
