Drag Appointment NewResourceID is nothing

[Denis Cilliers]

When you drag an appointment for the second time the NewResourceID is nothing

Thus when you drag an appointment to a new Resource it works the first time, on draging the appointment back to its original location the NewResourceID is not set

?

Hello Denis,

We addressed similar issue in our latest major release - Q3 2012 (2012.3.1017). Please, could you confirm that you are using this version? If yes, please send us your application and we will investigate the issue further.

I am looking forward to your reply.

The version i'm using is 2012.3.1211 which is a later version that you indicate

It is a bit detailed but Here goes

1. Setup a Scheduler with 2 appointments Summary and Test in different Resources
2. Switch to Week View
3. Drag the Summary appointment to the same slot as the Test Appointment in Resource 2 -They will now be double booked
4. Drag the Summary appointment back to its original slot in Resource 1
5. Drag the Test appointment to the same slot in Resource 1 - They will now be double booked
6. Drag the Test appointment to a new Day in Resource 1and the NewResourceID is nothing
7. Drag the Summary appointment to a new day in Resource 1 and the NewResourceID is nothing
8. If you drag these appointments around in Resource 1 they keep the nothing value
9. If you Drag them to Resource 2 they get the value back

So the bug seems to be when the Appointments overlap in any way they lose the NewResourceID

I have send on the Sample project in the Support Ticket, but left the details here for the community 

The Draging Event is as follows

Private Sub RadScheduler1_AppointmentDropping(sender As System.Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.AppointmentMovingEventArgs)
    Handles RadScheduler1.AppointmentDropping

 

       If e.NewResourceId Is Nothing Then

           Me.RadLabel2.Text = "Nothing in e.NewResourceId.KeyValue"

       Else

           Me.RadLabel2.Text = e.NewResourceId.KeyValue

       End If

 End Sub

Hello Denis,

Like my colleague Ivan said in your support ticket: "The NewResourceID is always Nothing when using ungrouped view or when dragging an appointment within the same resource view. It is Nothing because no change to this property has actually occurred. This is the default behavior of RadScheduler and it is not related to overlapping appointments."

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

the strange behavior of this value results in 3 different states and needs an If to handle what would be a simple reference to the value

As on the first Drop in the same Resource the value is the same as the Appointment_Resource_ID
On the Second drop in the same Resource the value is Nothing
On a drop to a new Resource the value is a valid NewResourceId.KeyValue

Ah well it works OK now just a bit strange for my liking

'Check for New Resource ID
       Dim dropResourceId As Integer? = Nothing
       If Not e.NewResourceId Is Nothing Then
           dropResourceId = e.NewResourceId.KeyValue
       Else
           dropResourceId = CurrentAppointment.Appointment_Resource_ID
       End

Hello Denis,

I understand your concerns. The described behavior is by design. I will discuss the issue with our devs and we will consider improving our API in future. 

If you have other questions, we will be glad to help.

Dear Sirs,

my used version is v.2013.1.220.40 dev---in GAC
however the one which was working is v.2012.3.1017.20

now when i referenced the old version in my project in visual studio the e.newrecourcesid worked properly , but the problem is that the GAC version differs than the project design version , so how to downgrade the GAC to  v.2012.3.1017.20 , Please advise


Thanks and Best Regards

Hello Ali,

Thank you for contacting us.

Indeed, when using our latest release the NewResourceId property is empty when handling AppointmentDropping event. You can use the AppointmentDropped event instead. I logged the issue in our issue tracking system and it will be addressed in one of our upcoming releases. Use this link to track the issue status. I updated also your Telerik points.

You can downgrade to our previous version by uninstalling the last one and downloading the previous version from our site. To be able to do this you should click on All product versions on Product Versions page.

Should you have other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
