Non-Schedule Data
In the course of building an application that supports scheduling, you will undoubtedly
want to store data that the schedule does not support. For example, you may want to
associate extra information with each appointment like person_id, visit_notes,
last_update, etc. The schedule does not support these properties. There is a remedy for
this situation. The PropertyItemCollection is a collection of objects of type PropertyItem.
These objects are nothing more than a name and a value. You can think of this
collection as a set of name/value pairs. You may associate any data you wish to an
appointment using this collection.
The collection has the methods Add and Remove. You can add or remove any value
you wish and not receive any error. You do not need to data bind to use this collection
to store extra information with an appointment; however it becomes even more useful
when used with data binding. The database Appointment table can contain any fields
