I am not using Labels as is defined in Scheduler, but rather using Rooms as the labels. The ID value of the Room is an integer value. In the Appointments table, we don't have a Properties field, which looks like that is what is used to store the references. I have mapped the category information as below

In my appointments, I generate  string of what looks similar to the properties field in the sample.

<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.AppointmentProperties.MappingName"
  Value="EventProperties"/>

<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.LabelStorage.DataMember"
  Value="Rooms"/>
<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.LabelStorage.DataSource"
  Value="{StaticResource RoomsDS}"/>
<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.LabelStorage.Mappings.IdMapping.MappingName"
  Value="ID"/>
<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.LabelStorage.Mappings.ColorMapping.MappingName"
  Value="ColorCode"/>
<c1:NestedPropertySetter
  PropertyName="DataStorage.LabelStorage.Mappings.TextMapping.MappingName"
  Value="Name"/>

 1. Is it possible to link to a field that is an integer?
 2. What specifically is the Appointment Mapping looking for?

Sure. Use IndexMapping for your ID field instead of IdMapping (you should use IdMapping if
your key is Guid, or IndexMapping if your key is integer).

Information about Appointment labels is saved to field which is mapped to
DataStorage.AppointmentStorage.Mappings.AppointmentProperties. I.e. in your sample, it is
EventProperties field of your DataTable. If you don't have such field in your DataSource,
you shouldn't set mapping for it. In such case you should manually save/load information
about appointment labels somewhere in your code.

I don't have this field defined in the database. I was trying to generate it in code, but not having any luck? Not sure what it is really looking for. The only reason I care is because i need to change the background color to the color of the room.
