AppointmentTemplate

[EmpowerIT]

Hi,
I've been trying to understand how to use this property of the scheduler. What I need to do is be able to populate the controls of the AppointmentTemplate programatically. The example provided does everything 'inline'.
My scheduler is not directly linked to a database, but to an ArrayList of custom appointment objects (which contain a whole bunch of extra data). This extra data cannot be used as a resource of the appointment, but its required nonetheless.

	<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" DataKeyField="ID" DataSubjectField="Subject" DataStartField="Start" DataEndField="End" Width="100%">
	<AppointmentTemplate>
	<asp:Image ID="calIcon" runat="server" AlternateText="Icon"/>
	</AppointmentTemplate>
	</telerik:RadScheduler>

Is there some sort of event/hook in which I can set the imageUrl dynamically based on certain data of an appointment? I need to have access to the 'parent appointment' to work out what to display for the image.

Thanks

Hi Fayez,

You can use the AppointmentCreated event. For example, try the following:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        Image templateImage = (Image)e.Container.FindControl("calIcon");
        templateImage.ImageUrl = e.Appointment.Subject + ".png";

    }
