Not showing slots with grouping

[Freeport LNG Development]

Hello all

I am having trouble getting the Special Slots to visualize when i am grouping. WIthout the grouping they show as expected, but when the reousece grouping is defined it does not show. I even try to add all the resources used for the grouping on all Slots but they still do not show. Any quick pointers?

I am using this to initialize my slot collection:

            ObservableCollection<Slot> specialSlots = new ObservableCollection<Slot>();
            Providers.SundayOccurence sunday = new Providers.SundayOccurence()
            {
                Start = StartTime,
                End = StartTime.AddDays(1).AddSeconds(-1),
                RecurrencePattern = new RecurrencePattern(null, RecurrenceDays.Sunday, RecurrenceFrequency.Weekly, 1, null, null),
            };
            sunday.Resources.Add(this.ResourceTypes[0]);
            foreach (Resource r in this.ResourceTypes[0].Resources)
            {
                sunday.Resources.Add(new Resource(r.DisplayName, r.ResourceType));
            }
            specialSlots.Add(sunday);


And this is my Xaml

Hi Freeport,

I suggest you edit the code for adding resources to the slot like it is shown below:

OLD
sunday.Resources.Add(new Resource(r.DisplayName, r.ResourceType));

NEW
sunday.Resources.Add(new Resource(r.ResourceName, r.ResourceType));


All the best,

Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately that does not help, The ResourceName and DisplayName are the same value.

I am running out of ideas to try

Hello

I have submitted a support request where i could attach an example project.
The ticket can be found here: http://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/view-ticket.aspx?threadid=497083

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you  for the provided project.

To work everything as expected, please change the implementations of SaturdayOccurence and SundayOccurence classes as they are shown here.

Kind regards,

Thank you .. this works great!

The resolution link is now gone.. What was the needed change to those classes in order for the special slots to appear when grouping?   I have the same issue apparently.   Thank you.

Hello,

I suggest you try implement Copy and CopyFrom methods as it is shown in our documentation.

I have the same problem. I use special slots to change background of slots for weekend days, holidays and so on. I have special slots for it and have implemented ScheduleViewStyleSelector / SelectStyle and defined templates with different colors for background.

It works fine without grouping but not for grouping. Adding of Copy and CopyFrom to special slots does not help me.

I add breakpoints to program and I have found that when grouping is on then is never called SelectStyle (without grouping it is called as expected). There is called only Copy for Slots.

When should be filled collection of special slots? Before adding of appointment or after?

Is possible restore link for sample ClientsFiles/317515_slots.zip (see above) or send me another link for running sample?

Is there another way to change background color for slots?

 

Regards

[Lucie]

I have solved this problem now.

I have forgotten set resource for instances of special slot when grouping was on.

 

Regards
