Programmatically add appointments to RadScheduler

[Casey]

Hello,

I'm trying to add an appointment to a RadScheduler in the code behind; however, I'm having no luck. I was hoping to create a new appointment, then use RadScheduler1.Appointments.Add(new Appointment(1, dt, dt, "Subject")); or something similar, but the .Add method isn't exposed and RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(new Appointment(1, dt, dt, "Subject")); isn't working either.

If this is possible, please let me know which RadScheduler event I need to do this in.

Thanks!
Casey

Hi,

Here is the sample code that I tried to create appointment programmatically.
C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        Appointment meetingAppointment = new Appointment();
        meetingAppointment.Subject = "Subject";
        meetingAppointment.Start = DateTime.Now;
        meetingAppointment.End = DateTime.Now;
        RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(meetingAppointment);
}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

I've tried using the InsertAppointment method already, but it doesn't work. Does it need to be done in a certain event (like a button click, or can it be done in the RadScheduler PreRender or other RadScheduler events)?  Does it matter that my RadScheduler doesn't allow and updates/deletes/inserts? It is just bound to a list of objects returned from a class library.

I'm in the middle of returning dummy data for the other dates I need to include appointments for, since creating a list of special dates and then creating appointments for each of those dates is not working.

Thanks!

Hi Casey,

The AllowInsert property of RadScheduler checks whether it is possible to insert the appointments on double click of the timeslot. I was able to insert the appointments in the timeslot when AllowInsert property of RadScheduler is set to false. Here is the code snippet that I tried to create appointment programmatically for the specialdays in the RadScheduler.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" AllowInsert="false" ......... >
</telerik:RadScheduler>

C#:

private readonly DateTime[] SpecialDays = new DateTime[] { new DateTime(2012, 12, 1), new DateTime(2012, 12, 2) };
protected void RadScheduler1_TimeSlotCreated(object sender, TimeSlotCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (DateTime dt in SpecialDays)
    {
        if (DateTime.Compare(e.TimeSlot.Start.Date, dt) == 0)
        {
            Appointment meetingAppointment = new Appointment();
            meetingAppointment.Subject = "Subject";
            meetingAppointment.Start = dt;
            meetingAppointment.End = dt;
            RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(meetingAppointment);
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Princy.

Hi Kalpna,

 
You will have to use a provider in case of multiple valued resources in RadScheduler as it is described in this help topic and shown in this on-line demo.

Hope this will be helpful.
