WebForms Scheduler by MindFusionNew in Scheduling for WPF, V3.4

Interactive Recurrence Rescheduling
Recurrences can be rescheduled interactively by holding down the RescheduleRecurrenceKey while dragging a recurrent item. The control tries to preserve the current pattern of the recurrence when possible. Otherwise, you can modify the recurrence to accommodate to the new start and end times of the modified item. Interactive rescheduling is not registered in the undo history.

New Theme
A new built-in theme is available in the Scheduler control – the Light theme. It is available through the ThemeType enumeration.
