Contextually Relevant Information in the Palm of Your Hand  
Line of business application development isn't going away. How you look at current enterprise development requirements and future needs may indicate a code base strategy that follows very closely inline with XAML.  Windows Presentation Foundation - WPF - has become a default for Windows desktop development and as Microsoft infuses new feature support into the IDE, including greater compatibility across Visual Studio assets, the underlying structure - XAML, helps solidify a path going forward. 

From strong graphical solutions expected by line of business application users built on WPF to mobile fluent front-line workers consuming a mix of WPF, Silverlight and others, WPF answers an immediate need for business systems while incurring a knowledge base that carries forward to Silverlight and mobile app development spurred on with Xamarin.

Enterprise resource planning and scheduling starts with the heavy lifting being done on the desktop, where the detail and calculation intensive work is efficiently maneuvered using multiple displays that present multiple views of enterprise data.  When it comes to desktop and more mobile Enterprise Resource Planning and Scheduling needs - DBI has you covered.

This month, we're pleased to be releasing DBI Calendar WPF version 2.0!

In the segments that follow we will introduce the significant changes that have been made to Calendar WPF and the new features including full MVVM support that you have all been asking for - enjoy!

    Tech Tip - Customizing the Context Menu in DBI Calendar WPF  
         
     

dbiCalendarWPF includes a built-in Context Menu designed to enhance users navigation as well as offer direct Appointment editing functionality.  Developers can toggle the built in menu available for users by adjusting the ContextMenus Property.

The options available in the menu depend upon the setup of the control and the location of the Cursor inside the instance of the dbiCalendarWPF that governs the objects on which the menu is displayed.  ...

...Overriding the ContextMenu

If the default context menu does not suit your application, or if you simply wish to tweak it, there are several options available.

1. The first option is to completely turn off the default menu, by setting the ContextMenus Property to false. This will disable the default menu completely and give you total control over the context menu.

2. The second option is to modify the context menu after it has been built but before it is displayed, using the AfterContextMenuBuilt Event. This event fires immediately after the menu has been built internally in the control but prior to its display. Here you can add your own additional menu items, or modify/remove any of the pre-built items that don't suit your application.

The following example will add an extra item to the context menu when ViewType = Daily, for generating a Daily Report. ... more
