RadScheduler and RadXmlHttpPanel?

[Jerry T.]

Is it possible to have the ServiceRequest of a RadXmlHttpPanel to load/refresh the data of a RadScheduler?

Or, can the RadScheduler only work via a DataSource and postbacks when using navigation?


What I'm trying to do is eliminate the postbacks when navigating to the previous/next month.

Thanks.

Hi Jerry T.,

Please consider using Web Service binding.

Have a great weekend!

I've been looking into that. But, is it not possible to use the ServiceRequest of a RadXmlHttpPanel?  Would be great if we could.


As for the WebService, I've been to that link but how would I setup client-side binding to a business layer method instead of accessing a local .XML file?  Can I point the "WebServiceAppointmentController" to that method or to a LINQ or Object data source?


More and better examples in the docs would help a lot.  :-)

Hi Jerry T.,

RadXmlHttpPanel cannot be use for RadScheduler. The good news is that you can use any provider for the Web Service. We have a tutorial and example that demonstrates how to build a custom provider that connects to an SQL Server. The provider is specified for the web services like this:

SchedulerWebService.cs

private WebServiceAppointmentController Controller
   {
       get
       {
           if (_controller == null)
           {
               _controller = new WebServiceAppointmentController("MyDBSchedulerProvider");
           }
           return _controller;
       }
   }

Attached is a  demo for reference.
