You can customize the month cell of Calendar control with custom object by customizing the
CellTemplate property in MonthViewSettings.
C#
CalendarPageModel defined as custom object to bind in CellTemplate
public class CalendarPageModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
Random random = new Random();
public bool IsCurrentMonth { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Temperature { get; set; }
public string Wind { get; set; }
public string Humidity { get; set; }
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
private double celcius;
public double Celcius
{
get
{
return celcius;
}
set
{
celcius = value; OnPropertyChanged("Celcius");
}
}
private string image;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
public string Image
{
get
{
return image;
}
set
{
image = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Image");
}
}
public CalendarPageModel(bool iscurrentmonth, DateTime date)
{
IsCurrentMonth = iscurrentmonth;
this.Date = date;
this.Title = " ";
this.Temperature = " ";
this.Wind = " ";
this.Humidity = " ";
if (IsCurrentMonth)
{
UpdateCelcius();
}
}
private void UpdateCelcius()
{
if (this.Date.Day % 5 == 0)
{
this.Celcius = 50;
}
else if (this.Date.Day % 3 == 0)
{
this.Celcius = 80;
}
else
{
this.Celcius = 120;
}
if (Celcius > 10 && Celcius < 60)
{
this.Image = "sunrain.png";
}
else if (Celcius > 60 && Celcius < 100)
{
this.Image = "sun1.png";
}
else
{
this.Image = "sun.png";
}
}
private void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
