Business Hours

You can specify the business hours range using the following properties:

• BusinessBeginsHour
• BusinessEndsHour

The business hours settings affect the following behavior:

• The calendar control height when HeightSpec is set to BusinessHours or BusinessHoursNoScroll
• Background cell color (CellBackColor, CellBackColorNonBusiness properties)

The background cell color can be overriden using BeforeCellRender event handler.

Weekends

You can show/hide weekends by selecting the ViewType:

• "WorkWeek" (hides weekend days)
• "Week" (shows weekends days)

CSS

• Business cells (defined as Monday-Friday, between BusinessBeginsHour and BusinessEndsHour) are now marked with_cell_business class in CssOnly mode.
• Styling business cells in now supported in the theme designer as well.

JavaScript

Example

dp.onBeforeCellRender = function(args) {
    if (args.cell.start.getDay() === 0 || args.cell.start.getDay() === 0) {
        args.cell.business = true;
    }
};

ASP.NET WebForms

You can define custom time cell colors using BeforeCellRender event:

protected void DayPilotCalendar1_BeforeCellRender(object sender, BeforeCellRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Start.Hour >= 9 && e.Start.Hour < 12)
            e.BackgroundColor = "#FFF2CC"; // shift #1 
        else if (e.Start.Hour >= 12 && e.Start.Hour < 15)
            e.BackgroundColor = "#FFD9CC"; // shift #2
        else if (e.Start.Hour >= 15 && e.Start.Hour < 18)
            e.BackgroundColor = "#F2FFCC"; // shift #3
    }

Turning Saturday and Sunday into business days:

    protected void DayPilotCalendar1_BeforeCellRender(object sender, BeforeCellRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Start.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday || e.Start.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
            || (e.Start.Hour >= 9 && e.Start.Hour < 18))
        {
            e.IsBusiness = true;
        }
   }

You can also change just the IsBusiness property and you will get the color automatically:

    protected void DayPilotCalendar1_BeforeCellRender(object sender, BeforeCellRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Start.Hour >= 10 && e.Start.Hour < 12)
            e.IsBusiness = true;
        else if (e.Start.Hour >= 14 && e.Start.Hour < 16)
            e.IsBusiness = true;
        else
            e.IsBusiness = false;
    }
