set default value for custom resource

[Jeff]

I am trying to insert a new schedule programmatically. When a link is clicked, the scheduler opens in advanced edit form mode with certain items filled in such as subject and time. I am trying to set a custom resource value programmatically as well, for example:

protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
RadScheduler1.HideEditForm();
RadScheduler1.Rebind();
// create the default appointment and times
Appointment app = new Appointment();
string sStart = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
DateTime dStart = DateTime.Parse(sStart);
dStart = dStart.AddDays(1);
app.Start = dStart;
app.End = dStart.AddHours(2);
string[] subjects = e.CommandArgument.ToString().Split("|".ToCharArray());
string theSubject = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < subjects.Length; i++)
{
switch (i)
{
case 1:
theSubject = theSubject + "Name(s):" + System.Environment.NewLine;
break;
case 4:
theSubject = theSubject + "Address:" + System.Environment.NewLine;
break;
case 11:
theSubject = theSubject + "Revision: ";
break;
default:
break;
}
if (subjects[i].Trim() != "")
{
theSubject = theSubject + subjects[i] + System.Environment.NewLine;
.......................
}
app.Subject = theSubject;
app.Attributes["Orders"] = "company";
RadScheduler1.ShowAdvancedEditForm(app);
}

But this does not set teh default drop list box for the custom resource of "Orders". The selected value is "-", and all the possible choices show up.

How would I go about accomplishing this?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for your question.

Please, consider the following sample code which shows how to add a resource to an appointment dynamically:

aspx:

<ResourceTypes>
                <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" ForeignKeyField="RoomID" KeyField="ID"
                    Name="Rooms" TextField="RoomName" />
            </ResourceTypes>

code-behind:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Appointment app = new Appointment();
        string sStart = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
        DateTime dStart = DateTime.Parse(sStart);
        dStart = dStart.AddDays(1);
        app.Start = dStart;
        app.End = dStart.AddHours(2);
        app.Subject = "test";

        Resource r = (Resource) RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResource("Rooms", 1);
        app.Resources.Add(r);

        RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(app);
    }
