reservation planning sheet

[MaxiBarac]

Hi everyone thanks for your help .

I'm finishing a hotel reservation software , but the client wants to be able to see a planning sheet like the one i've attached .

Any idea how can i achive such a think , it must be only for visualize the booked days in each room, the part of making the reservation is already done .

I started trying with table control and changing with a property node the cell background color but i'm not sure if it is the most apropiate in this case .

The thing i'm struggling is how to manage months and years .

Any idea you could suggest will be appreciated . thanks

The first would be to know exactly what you want this to look like. I'm not sure what the issue is with months and years, as both are something which you can easily select with a couple of external controls and use that to control what's displayed in the table.

As for the table itself, here are some thoughts:

1. Build it as HTML and display it in an embedded browser. HTML should have support for all the relevant table features.
2. Look for existing .NET controls which can do what you want and use one of them. Maybe a Gantt chart control or an embedded Excel sheet.
3. Use the table as you already tried. The biggest hurdle will be the merged cells, which the table control does not support. You could probably do it with overlayed string indicators.
4. Use the picture control and build it from scratch in code.
