Hi Telerik Team,
At time I'm developing a small local database application (SQLCe) for our IT stuff to manage the retire/recycle dates or schedule of our Backup tape library. In past this was paper based, then Excel based, but as the tapes amount has increased now up to 400 tapes, finding retired tapes for recycle is a tedious work. At first I wrote a desktop application, but released that I had to write down the tape names to paper, taking it to the server room and replace the tapes. I then decided to write a WP7 app which I can then use in the server room. The app is now a about 50 percent complete. On the main page I have a pivot control with serveral pivot items containing RadDataboundList control(s) which I fill with various observablecollections i.e. today's tape retirements, tomorrow, last week, next seven days, ... etc. All its left to do is the managing the tape retirements (add, edit, delete) and of course the tapes itself (add,edit, delete). When I was working on this stuff, I had the idea, that I also could show the tape retirements in a calendar view combined with a list at bottom (daily), simliar to the calendar's FirstLook sample. A time, all existing retirements are displayed including completed ones.
But as my table structure is different from the appointment structure, I want to ask how I can achieve the correct binding. I already have an ObservableCollection for all existing Tape retirements filled properly. As I don't have a end date,only a retire date, it could be the same, but zero length appointments are not supported (other forum thread). Here is my table structure:
1. ID (PK, auto, int) TapeRetireID
2. TapeID (FK, int) relation to Tape table (TapeName is retrieved correctly through joint query)
3. TapeRetireDate (datetime) Retire/Recycle Date & Time
4. CompleteState (boolean) Retire completed yes/no
5. Notes (nvarChar) Memo, just in case something has to be done with tape
What I want to show in the calender's day cell is the TapeName, whereas I will show all details in the list if a day cell is selected. By the way, the list under the calender is also properly working, but as it is not bound to the calendar yet, it shows all retirements always.
Is there any sample code available on custom calendar binding? Is this binding possible anyway?
Kind regards,
Joerg Schaum
