How to Capture the RecurenceParentId?

[sabarishbabu]

Hi,

1. I am using the scheduler to creating arecurring appointments, as pre the documentations RecurenceParentId should have been created for theentry. But, I find the value as null 

2. How, where do I find the value and How cani Check for conflicting appointments?.

3. Can you send me any sample code?

Thanks

Sabarish

Hi,

The RecurrenceParentID value will not be populated until a recurrence exception is created by modifying/deleting an appointment from the series. More details here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/schedule_serversideworkingwithrecurringappointments.html

Conflict checking is only possible for a given time range. Once the range is known you can evaluate the recurrence rule and check if any of the occurrences fall within that range. More information about evaluating recurrence rules is available here:

I'm doing all the back end work in my app myself.
Are there any examples you can provide that actually show the Recurrence Parent Id being used properly to edit an exception occurrence?

Should the exception occurrence have its state set to exception?

Hello towps,

You can use the RecurrenceExceptionCreated event to capture the RecurrenceParentID.

protected void RadScheduler1_RecurrenceExceptionCreated(object sender, RecurrenceExceptionCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       //e.OccurrenceAppointment.RecurrenceParentID
   }

I am not sure though what exactly you need to accomplish so if the above suggestion does not help you, please elaborate on your case.

When I try to delete an occurrence within a recurring series, that is not the first appointment that I created, I get an error that an object with the appointment Id for the first appointment that I created cannot be found; even though I can confirm that the first appointment that I craeted does have the Id that it is complaining about.

I'm just trying to get my head around how this parent, recurring stuff works.

What should I expect to handle when I delete a child occurrence of a recurring series?

thanks

Hi towps,

Can you explain how exactly you attempt to delete an appointment? A code sample would be helpful.
