How to include custom header using xib file in Xamarin.iOS Schedule?

You can create custom header and add this in schedule. To achieve this, follow below steps.

Set Schedule.HeaderHeight property as zero to hide the default header
Create your own xib file and add your own custom view and schedule on it.

Including custom header in Xamarin Scheduler

[Register ("MyViewCS")]
    partial class MyView
    {
        [Outlet]
        [GeneratedCode ("iOS Designer", "1.0")]
        UIKit.UILabel label { get; set; }
 
        [Outlet]
        [GeneratedCode ("iOS Designer", "1.0")]
        Syncfusion.SfSchedule.iOS.SFSchedule schedule { get; set; }
 
        void ReleaseDesignerOutlets ()
        {
            if (label != null) {
                label.Dispose ();
                label = null;
            }
 
            if (schedule != null) {
                schedule.Dispose ();
                schedule = null;
            }
        }
    }

Add the created view in ViewController Class

public override void ViewDidLoad()
        {
            base.ViewDidLoad();
            // Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
 
            var view = MyView.Create();
            view.Frame = View.Frame;
 
            View.AddSubview(view);
        }

Using Schedule.VisibleDatesChanged event get the visible month, and set this to custom header

public static MyView Create()
        {
            var arguments = NSBundle.MainBundle.LoadNib("MyView", null, null);
            view = Runtime.GetNSObject<MyView>(arguments.ValueAt(0));
 
            view.schedule.HeaderHeight = 0;
 
            view.schedule.VisibleDatesChanged += Schedule_VisibleDatesChanged;
 
            view.label.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Blue;
 
            return view;
        }
 
        static void Schedule_VisibleDatesChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.SfSchedule.iOS.VisibleDatesChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var dateList = e.VisibleDates;
 
            NSDateFormatter formatter = new NSDateFormatter();
            formatter.DateFormat = "LLLL YYYY";
            formatter.Locale = view.schedule.Locale;
 
            if (view.schedule.ScheduleView == SFScheduleView.SFScheduleViewMonth)
                view.label.Text = (NSString)formatter.ToString(dateList.GetItem<NSDate>(dateList.Count / 2));
            else
                view.label.Text = (NSString)formatter.ToString(dateList.GetItem<NSDate>(0));
        }
