How to Change the Weekend Dates in the .NET MAUI Calendar (SfCalendar)?

In the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Calendar, you can change the weekend days of the week by using the WeekendDays property of the SfCalendar.

Step 1: Create a ViewModel class and add a property WeekendDayList to specify the weekend days and bind that property into the CalendarMonthView’s WeekendDays property of the SfCalendar, as shown in the following code sample.

C#

public class CalendarViewModel
{
    public List<DayOfWeek> WeekendDayList { get; set; }
 
    public CalendarViewModel()
    {
        this.WeekendDayList = new List<DayOfWeek>() { DayOfWeek.Monday, DayOfWeek.Friday };
    }
}

XAML

<ContentPage.BindingContext>
    <local:CalendarViewModel />
</ContentPage.BindingContext>
<ContentPage.Content>
    <calendar:SfCalendar x:Name="calendar">
        <calendar:SfCalendar.MonthView>
            <calendar:CalendarMonthView WeekendDays="{Binding WeekendDayList}">
            </calendar:CalendarMonthView>
        </calendar:SfCalendar.MonthView>
        
    </calendar:SfCalendar>
</ContentPage.Content>

Step 2: Customize the weekend days background and text appearance using the WeekendDatesBackground and WeekendDatesTextStyle properties of the CalendarMonthView to highlight the weekend days, as shown in the following code sample.

XAML

<calendar:CalendarMonthView WeekendDays="{Binding WeekendDayList}"
                            WeekendDatesBackground="LightGray">
    <calendar:CalendarMonthView.WeekendDatesTextStyle>
        <calendar:CalendarTextStyle TextColor="Red"
                                    FontSize="15"
                                    FontAttributes="Italic"/>
    </calendar:CalendarMonthView.WeekendDatesTextStyle>
</calendar:CalendarMonthView>
