DayPilot is designed to work with a custom database schema.

You should map the database fields to event properties using the following properties:

• DataStartField
• DataEndField
• DataTextField
• DataValueField
• DataResourceField (Scheduler only)
• DataAllDayField (optional, Calendar only)
• DataColumnField (optional, Calendar only)

Mapping Custom Database Fields

Any number of custom fields can be mapped using the following property:

• DataTagFields

The custom fields will be passed with the event through all its lifecycle.

In the server-side event handlers (e.g. BeforeEventRender, EventClick) it's accessible as

• e.Tag["fieldname"] or
• e.Tag[index]

In the client-side event handlers (e.g. EventClickJavaScript) it's accessible as

• e.tag("fieldname")
