Feature overview
The Silverlight - WPF Planner is a Silverlight - WPF control for implementing a
broad range of planning and scheduling solutions. Whether a project requires the
creation of a single-user Personal Information Management (PIM) application or
time planning for multiple resources such as hotel rooms, rental cars and
university courses, the Silverlight - WPF Planner provides an open,
highly-configurable interface that will suit the project's needs. Because
Silverlight - WPF Planner is browser-based, it is perfect for applications
supporting users connected via an intranet or the Internet.

Multiple resources and multiple modes
Silverlight - WPF Planner supports dynamic viewing of multiple resources and
scheduled items in a variety of modes. Items can be scheduled at any granularity
of time within a day view. Broader pictures of allocated resources and
appointments can be had via the day period, month, multi-month, timeline, and
week views. All of these modes are available through a single Silverlight - WPF
Planner control placed on a Silverlight - WPF form.
Silverlight - WPF Planner also includes a MonthPlanner control that displays
events for an entire month in a fashion similar to a wall calendar.
Drag and Drop support
UsUsers find it easy to interact with Silverlight - WPF Planner. If a person needs
to move a scheduled appointment from one time slot to another, or even from one
day to another, they can do so by clicking on the appointment and dragging it to
the desired time slot. If the duration of an appointment needs to be changed,
the user can resize the appointment use one of the two track bars located at the
top and bottom of the event.
Flexible database support
Silverlight - WPF Planner is loosely coupled with its data and supports the
retrieval and update of scheduling information located in existing databases via
WCF.
Customization friendly
We've tried to make the appearance and behavior of the Silverlight - WPF Planner
control as customizable as possible. For example, you can have the Planner
invoke your own Silverlight - WPF forms when the user creates or edits an event
(e.g., meeting, appointment).
You can also control the appearance of each and every event, decide on a per
event basis whether or not they can overlap or be double-booked, whether they
can be resized, moved, or deleted. You can decide whether the time axis is
displayed on the left, right, top, bottom or repeated for every day/resource and
specify the colors, interval, and format of the times. There are even more
options available. Please try the demo version to see for yourself.span>
