Place/location with just a textfield

[Andreas Selling]

Hello

I don't find any information about place/location to just have it as a plain textfield. I'm using exchange 2003 as datasource and place is an important field wich is just plain text.

How can I add it?


I also have a question on minutes. Will there be an upgrade showing the apointments in minutes visually?

Hi Andreas Selling,

In CreateAppointmentsFromCalendarItem of your provider, add any additional information as appointment custom attribute:

    protected virtual IEnumerable<Appointment> CreateAppointmentsFromCalendarItem(RadScheduler owner, string sharedCalendarName, CalendarItemType calendarItem)
        {
            Appointment calendarAppointment = new Appointment();
            calendarAppointment.ID = calendarItem.ItemId.Id;
            calendarAppointment.Subject = calendarItem.Subject;
            calendarAppointment.Start = calendarItem.Start;
            calendarAppointment.End = calendarItem.End;
            calendarAppointment.Owner = owner;

            calendarAppointment.Attributes[ExchangeIdAttribute] = calendarItem.ItemId.Id;
            calendarAppointment.Attributes[ExchangeChangeKeyAttribute] = calendarItem.ItemId.ChangeKey;


            //Get any additional data to display.
            calendarAppointment.Attributes["Location"] = calendarItem.Location;
            calendarAppointment.Attributes["Organizer"] = calendarItem.Organizer.Item.Name;

Then, define AppointmentTemplate like this:

  <AppointmentTemplate>
                    <asp:Label ID="lblSubject" runat="server" CssClass="subject"><%# Eval("Subject") %></asp:Label>
                    <br />
                    <asp:Literal ID="ltrlLocation" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Attributes[\"Location\"]") %>' />
                    <br />
                    <asp:Literal ID="ltrlOrganizer" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Attributes[\"Organizer\"]") %>' />
                </AppointmentTemplate>
