Adding custom properties to Scheduler display

[James]

Hi all,
I've got my own Appointment class which has extra info - apart from Subject etc. - for example customer account number (CustAcctNumber).

I want to display this, formatted separately, on the Scheduler screen using Templates.

How can I access the CustAcctNumber in the template?

I've seen mention of CustomAttributes, but am not sure if this is the right way to go.

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

Yes, custom attributes is the right way to go. Suppose you set CustomAttributeNames="CustAcctNumber". Then you can access the value in the appointment template like this:

 <AppointmentTemplate>

                    <h2>
                        <%# Eval("Subject") %>
                    </h2>
                   <%# Eval("CustAcctNumber") %>

            </AppointmentTemplate>

Similar approach using Subject instead of a custom attribute is shown in the Templates demo:
