Getting Started with the .NET MAUI Calendar

This guide provides the information you need to start using the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Calendar by adding the control to your project.

At the end, you will achieve the following result.

Prerequisites

Before adding the Calendar, you need to:

1. [Set up your .NET MAUI application]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-1-set-up-your-net-maui-application).

2. [Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({% slug maui-getting-started %}#step-2-download-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

3. [Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-3-install-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

4. [Register the Required Handlers]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-4-register-required-handlers).

Define the Control

1. When your .NET MAUI application is setup, you are ready to add a Calendar control to your page. The following example demonstrates how to define the RadCalendar:

2. Add the telerik namespaces:

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
			.UseTelerik()
			.UseMauiApp<App>()
			.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			{
				fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
			});

		return builder.Build();
	}
}
