NewOwner Property (AppointmentsDraggingEventArgs)

Returns the new Owner of the appointment(s), based on the current cursor position.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property NewOwner As Owner

C#

public Owner NewOwner {get;}

Remarks

When the drag operation is initiated, the NewOwner and InitialOwner reference the same object. As the user moves the cursor over areas of the control which represent a different owner, the value of the NewOwner property changes to reflect the owner with which the appointments will be associated if the drag operation is not canceled.

Example

The following code sample demonstrates how to use the AppointmentsDragging event to conditionally prevent appointments from being dragged based on various criteria:

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
