How to bind appointments in Xamarin.Forms Schedule using MVVMCross

Schedule allows you to bind appointments using MVVMCross Framework. To achieve this follow below steps.

Step 1: Add MVVMCross.Forms.StarterPack package in your project.

Step 2: Add Schedule inside MVVM container using MVVM.Forms assembly.

Step 3: Create a view model inherits from CustomMvxViewModel and add data on this

public class CustomMvxFormsViewModel : MvxViewModel
    {
        public ObservableCollection<Meeting> Meetings { get; set; }
        //public ObservableCollection<Meeting> meetings { get; set; }
        
        public MvxFormsViewModel()
        {
            Meetings = new ObservableCollection<Meeting>();
 
            for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
            {
                Meetings.Add(new Meeting() 
                { 
                    EventName = "Client Meeting", 
                    From = new DateTime(2018, 5, 1, 9, 0, 0).AddDays(i), 
                    To = new DateTime(2018, 5, 1, 11, 0, 0).AddDays(i),
                    Color = Color.Green
                });
            }
        }
        
        public override Task Initialize()
        {
            //TODO: Add starting logic here
                
            return base.Initialize();
        }
    }

Step 4: Use MVVM.Bindings assembly to bind the data to schedule, and refer the view model class as assembly to bind the data from the view model

XAML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<d:MvxContentPage x:TypeArguments="viewModels:MvxFormsViewModel"
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MvxForms.Core.Pages"
    x:Class="MvxForms.Core.Pages.MvxFormsPage"
    xmlns:viewModels="clr-namespace:MvxForms.Core.ViewModels;assembly=MvxForms.Core"
    xmlns:d="clr-namespace:MvvmCross.Forms.Views;assembly=MvvmCross.Forms"
    xmlns:mvx="clr-namespace:MvvmCross.Forms.Bindings;assembly=MvvmCross.Forms"
    xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSchedule.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSchedule.XForms">
      <ContentPage.Content>
 
        <syncfusion:SfSchedule x:Name="schedule" ScheduleView="MonthView" ShowAppointmentsInline="true" mvx:Bi.nd="DataSource Meetings" >
            <syncfusion:SfSchedule.AppointmentMapping>
                <syncfusion:ScheduleAppointmentMapping
                    SubjectMapping="EventName" 
                    StartTimeMapping="From"
                    EndTimeMapping="To"
                    ColorMapping="Color">
                </syncfusion:ScheduleAppointmentMapping>
            </syncfusion:SfSchedule.AppointmentMapping>
        </syncfusion:SfSchedule>
      </ContentPage.Content>
</d:MvxContentPage>
