FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Calendaring Bundle 3.2 – integrated calendar and resource scheduler

July 18^th 2004  - ComponentGo company announces a release of version 3.2 of Resource Scheduler control and DailyCalendar (formerly CalendarGo) control for .NET. Both facilitate adding Outlook-like timetables and calendars to your applications royalty-free.  

Together, they form a CalendaringBundle, adding a second dimension to a full-featured calendar holding enough text to describe your appointments adequately and display them in a visually attractive way. Now you can assign appointments to resources such as hotel rooms, employees etc and create a Gantt chart. From a programmer’s point of view access to source code is also desirable. Resource Scheduler and DailyCalendar 3.2 share a common base class and fill these requirements for a .NET platform and Microsoft Visual Studio.

“We integrated both our controls, and implemented a number of features our users requested. Design principles are still the same: fully functional, but cheap at the expense of bells and whistles programmers and users alike find unnecessary” – said Ernest Boron, a developer from a CalendarGo team. “We follow Einstein’s advice, and make our controls ‘simple, but not too simple’. In this release, we simplified things, but enhanced the functionality. Our products are certainly affordable, fully programmable and extensible”.  

Both CalendarGo and Resource Scheduler are fully managed code written in 100% C#, seamlessly integrate with Visual Studio and can be used from any CLR language. Calendars can display any number of days and resources differentiating workdays from weekends and working hours from non-working hours using separate colors. Appointments can be marked as whole-day, and consist of several linked segments. All aspects of a calendar’s appearance can be controlled including size, border colors, selected day and appointment color, working and non-working hour color, the first and the last working hour and granularity of time displayed (from 1 hour to 5 minutes, with 1 day and half day resolutions added for a Resource Scheduler). The VB/Access demo was added to existing C#/ADO.NET/Web service one. It demonstrates communication with a database storing appointments and uses ADO.NET and a new Appointment.Tag property. ResourceScheduler control can be used in a similar way.

Both controls come in two versions. Standard version is a compiled DLL while Professional includes full source code. A source code of applications demonstrating usage is included in both. A Bundle version contains DailyCalendar as well as Resource Scheduler.

DailyCalendar and Resource Scheduler 3.2 are calendaring components for .NET. Written in managed C#, but accessible from any .NET language, they are seamlessly integrated with Visual Studio.NET. With a minimum of programmer’s work they provide a .NET application with Outlook-like calendars.
