Radscheduler Exchange Provider

[Mirsad]

 Looking at implementing the radscheduler using the exchange provider to sync with a company Outlook account I have. Excellent examples. I got it to work using the C# example.
 
I was wondering if there is there a VB version of the example? Or any VB examples to work with?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I am afraid that the at this point we offer an RadScheduler Exchange provider only in C#.

Please excuse us for any inconveniences caused.

Can this still be done in VB? Do you mean you just do not have any examples in VB.NET right now?

I am about to create an ASP.NET project using the RadScheduler and need to sync with Outlook. So can this be done in VB?

Thanks,

Warren

Hello Warren,

I would like to clarify that currently we do not have the RadScheduler Exchange provider example in VB.NET. I would like to clarify that due to the complexity of the code used in the implementation such conversion might take some time. We will post here some information as soon as we have any updates regarding your question.

That's what I thought but I can do this routine in C#. I went to the help page about this and I see where you are assigning the provider with the exchange server url and other credentials. Once this is done I still need to go through and sync it by code as far as the appointments and tasks? It does not do all of this automatically right?

I did download the scheduler example code from your GitHub link but I could not follow all of it. I think I need to find a C$=# coder to pay to do this for me.

Thanks,
Warren

Hello,

Once you set the exchange provider url and credentials in the code behind the RadScheduler and the outlook calendar are synced. Please note that this code is executed on each post-back so the outlook calendar appointments are retrieved and the RadScheduler appointment objects synchronized.

Are there any plans to convert this in to VB?

Hello,

I would like to clarify that at this point we are not planning to convent the Exchange provider in VB. A valid workaround would be to to create two sub-folders in the App_Code and separate your C# and VB files in each folder and declare those folders in the web.config files are shown in this help article.

Alternative valid approach will be to create a class library project that contains the Exchange provider classes. You can refer this library to your web site. This will include the class library dll files in your web site Bin folder and you are ready to use the Exchange provider in your VB web site. Of course you are absolutely able to add vb files to your web site's App_Code folder and they will be compiled without any issues.
