Schedule Application Approach

[Wayne Carlaw]

We'd like to begin coding a schedule application, much like Outlook and
wanted some opinions on what the best approach to this project would be.
Does anyone have any experience pulling appointments from a datasource and
filing out an hourly schedule? How do you deal with the empty hours if
you're using a datagrid?

Thx.

I'd speculate that the query would have to return records for each
hour that you need to display. A field inside the item would have to
indicate if the hour is booked or not, perhaps a simple bool indicator
- or perhaps a string with the description of the meeting. It's hard
to get more definite without designing a schema and looking at
requirements, etc...
