This is a calendar part which displays events from an existing event list (dates highlighted), and also provides details about an event on the click of the event date.
To create this WebPart, I chose the ASP.NET Calendar control and has overridden its OndayRender method to give colors to the dates with events.
The SharePoint object model (Microsoft.sharepoint.dll) is then used to pull the event details, displayed on the click of the date.
There are two classes used:
Calender control and to display the event details pulled from the event list, on click of the highlighted date.Steps to create the Calendar class:
CustomCalendar.Use the following code to give colors for weekend dates, dates of other months, and dates with events. In the code below, events are pulled from an event list named Team Calendar (you can change the list name if you wan to).
namespace WebPart_Calendar
{
public class CustomCalendar : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Calendar
{
protected override void OnDayRender(TableCell cell, CalendarDay day)
{
if (day.IsToday)
{
cell.Attributes.Add("style",
"font-weight:bold;background:#cee7ff;");
}
else if (day.IsWeekend)
{
cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
}
else if (day.IsOtherMonth)
{
cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
}
else
{
SPSite siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPList calendarList =
siteCollection.RootWeb.Lists["Team Calendar"];
// Construct a query that expands recurring events
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.ExpandRecurrence = true;
query.CalendarDate = day.Date;
query.Query = "EventDate FieldName<where>" +
"<eq><fieldref name="""\""">" +
"<value type="""\""">" +
day.Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH\\:mm\\:ssZ") +
"</value></eq></where>";
// Returns all items that would appear
// in the calendar view for the current day
SPListItemCollection calendarItems =
calendarList.GetItems(query);
if(calendarItems.Count > 0){
cell.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Khaki;
cell.Attributes.Add("style", "font-weight:bold;");
}
}
}
}
Build the project to get WebPart_Calendar.dll.
Steps to create a Webpart class:
The code goes below:
namespace SPWebPart_Calendar
{
[Guid("7cd9a020-6a9d-4765-8138-ed85d648e553")]
public class WebPart_Calendar_Class :
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
{
CustomCalendar cal;
Label lbl;
public WebPart_Calendar_Class()
{
this.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
EnsureChildControls();
cal.RenderControl(writer);
lbl.RenderControl(writer);
}
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
cal = new CustomCalendar();
this.cal.ID = "Calendar1";
this.cal.CellPadding = 5;
this.cal.CellSpacing = 2;
this.cal.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
this.cal.TitleStyle.BackColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#f2f2f2");
this.cal.TitleStyle.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#6c6b6b");
this.cal.DayHeaderStyle.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#818080");
this.cal.DayStyle.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#9f9e9e");
this.cal.OtherMonthDayStyle.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CCCCCC");
this.cal.OtherMonthDayStyle.BackColor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#f2f2f2");
this.Controls.Add(cal);
lbl = new Label();
this.lbl.ID = "Label1";
this.lbl.Visible = false;
this.lbl.EnableViewState = false;
this.Controls.Add(lbl);
this.cal.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler(cal_SelectionChanged);
}
protected void cal_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//this.lbl.Text = this.cal.SelectedDate.Date.ToShortDateString();
SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated listEvents =
new SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated(delegate()
{ RenderEventsByDate(this.cal.SelectedDate); });
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(listEvents);
//RenderEventsByDate(this.cal.SelectedDate);
this.lbl.Visible = true;
}
public void RenderEventsByDate(DateTime selectedDate)
{
//Get the calendar events for that day
SPSite siteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPList calendarList =
siteCollection.RootWeb.Lists["Team Calendar"];
// Construct a query that expands recurring events
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.ExpandRecurrence = true;
query.CalendarDate = selectedDate;
query.Query = "EventDate FieldName <where />" +
"<eq><fieldref name="""\""" />" +
"<value type="""\""" />" +
selectedDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH\\:mm\\:ssZ") +
"</value></eq></where>";
query.ViewFields = " Fields to View fromEvent List";
SPListItemCollection calendarItems = calendarList.GetItems(query);
foreach (SPListItem item in calendarItems)
{
this.lbl.Text += item["Title"] + ": starts " +
item["EventDate"].ToString() + " and ends " +
item["EndDate"].ToString() + "";
}
//If there are no events, display the message
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.lbl.Text))
this.lbl.Text = " There are no events for this date ";
}
}
}
Finally, deploy the WebPart as a solution. Here is how to deploy this as a solution package: http://programmingsharepoint.blogspot.com/2008/03/deploy-webpart-as-solution-package.html. For more details, see: http://programmingsharepoint.blogspot.com/.
