RecurrenceParentID not populating

[Susan]

I have looked and looked, but cannot seem to find an answer to this. I know it is a simple thing I'm overlooking. I'm using recurrence with a SQL data store. The 'RecurrenceRule' is populating, but I cannot get the RecurrenctParentID to populate. Is this something I generate and store or is it something that should be generated. My insert is as follows. My SQL table has the RecurrenceRule as nvarchar(1024) and the RecurrenceParentID as Int32. I use the advanced form template.
 

Private Sub RadScheduler1_AppointmentInsert(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentInsertEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.AppointmentInsert

Dim CalendarEventBE As New CalendarEventBE

Dim CalendarEventDAL As New CalendarEventDAL

CalendarEventBE.OrganizationKey = ViewState(

"OrganizationKey")

CalendarEventBE.EventName = e.Appointment.Subject

CalendarEventBE.EventStartTime = e.Appointment.Start

CalendarEventBE.EventEndTime = e.Appointment.End

CalendarEventBE.EventComments = e.Appointment.Attributes(

"Description")

CalendarEventBE.RecurrenceRule = e.Appointment.RecurrenceRule

CalendarEventBE.RecurrenceParentID = e.Appointment.RecurrenceParentID

CalendarEventDAL.SaveEvent(CalendarEventBE)

RadScheduler1.Rebind

End Sub

Hello Susan,

I have tried to reproduce the problem you experience, but to no avail. Could you elaborate a bit more about the exact your scenario?
I prepared a sample project that demonstrates how to populate data using SQL Data Source scenario, where you could observe the behavior of the RadScheduler control. In order to create and store an appointment you do not need to implement AppointmentInsert event handler.

I am waiting to your reply.

Boyan,
Thanks for your reply. I know how to populate a SQL datasource. My issue is the RecurringParentID = Nothing. I don't know how it should be populated.

I have opened support ticket #616752 and attached a working copy of the project that demonstrates my problem.

Thanks,
Susan

Hi Susan,

Please refer to the Bind to list demo where is shown how we recommend implementing scenarios whereDataSource property of RadScheduler is declared dynamically.

Hope this will be helpful.

All the best,

Thanks. That does help some, as I copied this and it is working. However, it stores the information in Session, where I use SQL. If I look at the fields it is storing in session when I do an insert, the RecurrenceParentID is nothing, but the RecurrenceState is set to Master. Do I have to store the RecurrenceState in my SQL database table? Should the RecurrenceParentID be equal to Nothing at this point - if so, when is it actually populated?

Thanks,
Susan

Hi Susan,

 
The RecurrenceParentID is expected to be nothing( or null) in the master appointments-it is actually assigned to the recurrence exceptions to point to the master appointment. As for the question about the RecurrenceState-you do not have to store it in the DataSource.

Hope this will be helpful.

Hello Gagan,

 
Would you please share a little bit more information about how you currently bind you RadScheduler because the issue may be completely different in your case and what is the unusual issue you observe? This way we will be able to inspect the issue and be more helpful.
