Exporting
You can now export calendars to PDF files with the new PdfExporter.

Improved Custom Drawing
Items, including their shadows, can now be completely custom-drawn through the new ItemDrawing event. The
ItemDrawing event is raised before the item is rendered by the system and can be used to prevent the default item rendering. Two new events added to the Calendar class signal the start and end of the item drawing phase respectively – BeginItemDrawing and EndItemDrawing.

Miscellaneous

  • All resource collections now implement IList where T is the type of resources in the collection.
  • The GetExactDateAt method works more consistently in various scenarios.
  • Custom texts and icons can be supplied to the Print Preview form of the scheduling reports.
  • All texts within the calendar can be customized explicitly through the new CustomizeText event of the Calendar class.

Improved item presenter
The ItemPresenter class now provides the start and end time of the represented item fragment through the new StartTime and EndTime properties. In addition, derived classes can override the new OnStartTimeChanged, OnEndTimeChanged, and OnItemPropertyChanged methods to get notified when the StartTime or EndTime properties change or when any property of the underlying item changes.

Item recurrence
