Hi, i'm evaluating C1Schedule for WPF to integrate into my application. I'm facing a issue when mapping my SQL appointment table to schedule control. The properties of my appointment are in separated fields but when i look into sample and ms access database in Common folder, there's only one mapping for all properties and properties in sample database store in xml format. How can i do mapping with my SQL table.

 Thanks

Appointment object has more than 30 properties. It would be too complicated to require the
separate binding for each of them. I think, that the single mapping works better for most
users. If you need more fields in your database (either for some Appointment properties or
for any custom information which is not included into appointment but included into your
business objects), you can handle that from code. For example, you can change your
DataSource fields in event handlers for AppointmentChanged event.

Thanks for the answer. I have something to ask as below:

1. In case of i'm using Schedule control in un-bound mode, is there anyway to set Key property of appointment. I'm loading Appointment from db, create appointment at runtime but i can not set Key property as it's readonly.

2. Will C1 have any plan to do Gantt chart for WPF in near future? I'm evaluating C1 WPF for purchasing to upgrade our project to WPF, what missing is Gantt Chart to show task timeline, resources etc...
