Exporting in ASP.NET MVC Schedule Component

27 Mar 202524 minutes to read

The Scheduler supports exporting all its appointments both to an Excel or ICS extension file at client-side. It offers different client-side methods to export its appointments in an Excel or ICal format file. Let’s look onto the ways on how to implement the exporting functionality in Scheduler.

Excel Exporting

The Scheduler allows you to export all its events into an Excel format file by using the [exportToExcel] client-side method. By default, it exports all the default fields of Scheduler mapped through EventSettings property.

NOTE

Before you start with excel exporting functionality, you need to import and inject the ExcelExport module from the '@syncfusion/ej2-schedule' package using the Inject method of Scheduler.

    }

    function onActionBegin(args) {
        if (args.requestType === 'toolbarItemRendering') {
            var exportItem = {
                align: 'Right', showTextOn: 'Both', prefixIcon: 'e-icon-schedule-excel-export',
                text: 'Excel Export', cssClass: 'e-excel-export', click: onExportClick
            };
            args.items.push(exportItem);
        }
    }

    function onExportClick() {
        var scheduleObj = document.getElementById('schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        scheduleObj.exportToExcel();
    }
</script>
public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewBag.datasource = GetScheduleData();
    List<ScheduleView> viewOption = new List<ScheduleView>()
    {
        new ScheduleView { Option = Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule.View.Week }
    };
    ViewBag.view = viewOption;
    return View();
}

public List<AppointmentData> GetScheduleData()
{
    List<AppointmentData> appData = new List<AppointmentData>();
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 1, Subject = "Explosion of Betelgeuse Star", Location = "Dallas", StartTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 8, 9, 30, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 8, 11, 0, 0) });
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 2, Subject = "Thule Air Crash Report", Location = "Texas", StartTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 9, 12, 0, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 9, 14, 0, 0) });
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 3, Subject = "Blue Moon Eclipse", Location = "Australia", StartTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 10, 10, 30, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 10, 11, 0, 0) });

    public string Subject { get; set; }
    public string Location { get; set; }
    public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
}

Exporting with custom fields

By default, Scheduler exports all the default event fields that are mapped to it through the EventSettings property. To limit the number of fields on the exported excel file, it provides an option to export only the custom fields of the event data. To export such custom fields alone, define the required fields and pass it as argument to the exportToExcel method as shown in the following example. For example: ['Id', 'Subject', 'StartTime', 'EndTime', 'Location'].

    public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
}

Exporting individual occurrences of a recurring series

By default, the Scheduler exports recurring events as a single data by exporting only its parent record into the excel file. If you want to export each individual occurrences of a recurring series appointment as separate records in an Excel file, define the includeOccurrences option as true and pass it as argument to the exportToExcel method. By default, the includeOccurrences option is set to false.

    public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
    public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
}

Exporting custom event data

By default, the whole event collection bound to the Scheduler gets exported as an excel file. To export only specific events of Scheduler or some custom event collection, you need to pass those custom data collection as a parameter to the exportToExcel method as shown in this following example, through the customData option.

NOTE

By default, the event data are taken from Scheduler dataSource.

How to customize the excel sheet on before exporting

Customizing an Excel sheet before export is made easy with the excelExport API. This API provides users with robust flexibility to tailor the exported data, format it according to specific needs, and include additional elements for enhanced presentation.

With the excelExport API, you can:

Adjust the formatting: Apply specific styles such as font type, size, color, and cell formatting to make the output visually appealing and consistent with your requirements.
Customize headers and footers: Personalize the Excel sheet by modifying the header and footer content, offering more control over the exported document.
Cancel the export: The API supports cancellation of the export process by setting the cancel property to true. This feature ensures you can prevent export based on specific conditions, offering you full control over the Excel export workflow.

Here’s an example of how you can add a custom header and footer to an Excel sheet before exporting using the excelExport API:

Exporting calendar events as ICS file

You can export the Scheduler events to a calendar (.ics) file format, and open it on any of the other default calendars such as Google or Outlook.

The following code example shows how the Scheduler events are exported to a calendar (.ics) file by making use of the exportToICalendar public method.

CSHTML
Data.cs
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule

@Html.EJS().Button("ics-export").Content("Export").Render()

@(Html.EJS().Schedule("schedule")
    .Width("100%")
    .Height("550px")
    .EventSettings(new ScheduleEventSettings { DataSource = ViewBag.datasource })
    .SelectedDate(new DateTime(2019, 1, 10))
    .Render()
)

<style>
    .calendar-import.e-upload {
        border: 0;
        padding-left: 0 !important;
    }

    .calendar-import.e-upload .e-file-select-wrap {
        padding: 0
    }

    .calendar-import.e-upload .e-file-select-wrap .e-file-drop {
        display: none;
    }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('ics-export').onclick = function () {
        var scheduleObj = document.getElementById('schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        scheduleObj.exportToICalendar();
    }
</script>
public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewBag.datasource = GetScheduleData();
    return View();
}

public List<AppointmentData> GetScheduleData()
{
    List<AppointmentData> appData = new List<AppointmentData>();
    appData.Add(new AppointmentData
    { Id = 1, Subject = "Explosion of Betelgeuse Star", Location = "Dallas", StartTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 8, 9, 30, 0), EndTime = new DateTime(2019, 1, 8, 11, 0, 0) });

Customizing column header with custom fields exporting

Using fields property, we can only export the defined fields into excel without customizing the header. Now we can provide the alternate support to customize the header of custom fields exporting using the fieldsInfo option through the ExportFieldInfo interface and pass it as an argument to the exportToExcel method as shown in the following example.

            };
            args.items.push(exportItem);
        }
    }

    function onExportClick() {
        var scheduleObj = document.getElementById('schedule').ej2_instances[0];
        var customFields = [

Exporting calendar with custom file name

By default, the calendar is exported with a file name Calendar.ics. To change this file name on export, pass the custom string value as fileName to the method argument so as to get the file downloaded with this provided name.

The following example downloads the iCal file with a name ScheduleEvents.ics.

Using a print method with options

You can print the Schedule element based on your needs using the print method by passing the print options used in this example with its values. The following example shows how to print the Scheduler using the print method by passing the options.

CSHTML
Data.cs
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Schedule

 @Html.EJS().Schedule("schedule").Width("100%").Height("100%").ActionBegin("onActionBegin").EventSettings(new ScheduleEventSettings { DataSource = ViewBag.datasource }).SelectedDate(new DateTime(2019, 1, 10)).Render()

How to customize the print layout

The beforePrint event enables users to customize the print layout of the Scheduler control without altering the actual schedule layout or data. This event returns the HTML element used for printing, which can be tailored based on specific requirements before the print operation is triggered. Additionally, users can prevent the print action by setting the cancel property to true, giving them full control over when and how the print operation takes place.

Key customization options include:

Customizing the header and footer: Add custom header and footer content of the print layout to include additional information.
Controlling print output: Fine-tune the layout to ensure that only the necessary details are printed, ensuring a clean and structured printout.

Here’s an example of how you can add a custom header and footer to the print layout using the beforePrint event :
