Gridview with edit schedule popup

[Wim]

Hi,

I have successfully implemented the Scheduler in an application with the use of the online examples. After running it for a few weeks, the customer requested a new overview of all scheduler events.

Therefore I have created a simple Kendo gridview that lists all user events, with a toolbar that contains the CRUD commands.
When the user clicks the edit button, a popup appears and the same (custom) schedule edit screen from the schedule page is shown. However, if the user clicks the save/update button, the recurrencerule property from the object is always null when sent to the server. All other properties are filled in.

Since I'm reusing my customeditortemplate I thought it would work without modification, but it appears I'm missing something.

Hi Wim,

I tried to reproduce the problem locally but to no avail – everything is working as expected on our side (as seen in this screencast). Could you please provide runable project where the issue is reproduced? This would help us pinpoint the exact reason for this behavior.

I'm including the 3 components affected, instead of the complete solution.

I've recreated the page from scratch again, and it seems that only the event category and event type is posted back to the server.
All other fields are default values or NULL, in the case of the start and end dates, they default to DateTime.Now() for some reason.

I hope you can help me out here

Hi Wim,


From the provided information it seems that the issue most probably is related to the field name specified in the "data_bind" option (the field name should start with lower-case letter only in the Scheduler) - it should be typed as-is as the Grid doesn't translate the fields from "ISchedulerEvent" interface to start with lowercase letter:

<div data-container-for="recurrenceRule" class="k-edit-field">
    @(Html.Kendo().RecurrenceEditorFor(model => model.RecurrenceRule)
        .HtmlAttributes(new { data_bind = "value:RecurrenceRule" }))
</div>

yes, you were right. The conversion to upper-case did the trick. Thanks !

While the postback contains all properties now, I'm still facing a validation problem on the dates.
The date compare validation doesn't work, the user is able to select an end-date that is before the start date.

The required field validation does work on all fields.

This only occurs in the grid popup edit, not in the scheduler edit. (same custom editor template)

Hi Wim, 

In the current case I would recommend specifying custom validation rules in the Grid's DataSource schema.model option.
