Use the RadSchedulerDB_Objects project from the "Introduction to RadScheduler for WinForms" webinar (http://tv.telerik.com/watch/winforms/radscheduler/introduction-radscheduler-winforms). If you run this project without opening the designer, the binding works correctly. If you open the form in the designer and then run the project, only one empty appointment will be displayed. The issue occurs because when opening the form, the following lines are removed from the designer: ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.schedulerBindingDataSource1.EventProvider)).BeginInit(); ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.schedulerBindingDataSource1.ResourceProvider)).BeginInit();
