My project still uses Telerik v2011.1.413.35 and came across an issue with the recurrence editor. Here are the settings:
Recurrence: Hourly
Recur every: 1 hr
Repeat end: End By
End by: 10/3/2018
The above setting when configured in UI or preset at Page_Load always generates and stops at only 3000 occurrences. I tried setting/overriding RadSchedulerRecurrenceEditor.RecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates and RadSchedulerRecurrenceEditor.RecurrenceRule.Range.MaxOccurrences during Page_Load or on click/submit of form, before accessing Occurrences property, as suggested in these forum topics: Link 1, Link 2. That does not work.
So, I went ahead and installed the latest Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, and tried the same experiement a fresh, simple page that only has the recurrence editor, and still does not work. Below is the code snippet, both ASPX and VB page.

End Sub30. 31.End Class
I have also attached the resultant page view.
Let me know what I'm doing wrong here, or if this is an actual bug in the tool.
Thanks.

The issue is really really odd. I think this is a bug, but I'm open to explanation of such implementation. Following explains the issue.
If I try to set `MaximumCandidates` by directly referencing the rad schedule recurrence editor, it does not work. BUT, if I assign `RecurrenceRule` property of the editor to a variable, and then set the max property, it works. Following is the code snippet explaining it.
1.radRecurEditor.RecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates = Integer.MaxValue 'does not work!2.radRecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates = Integer.MaxValue 'works!!
Oh well!

Just to clarify, here is the complete code-behind snippet, in reference to the original issue post.
01.Protected Sub Page_Load_Recurrence(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load02. lblRadRecurrenceEditorDetails.Text = String.Empty03. If IsPostBack Then Exit Sub04.End Sub05.Protected Sub btnRadRecurrenceEditorSubmit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnRadRecurrenceEditorSubmit.Click06. RecurrenceTestOutput(radRecurEditor.RecurrenceRule)07.End Sub08. 09.Protected Sub RecurrenceTestOutput(radRecurrenceRule As RecurrenceRule)10. Dim output As New List(Of String)11. output.Add("Max candidates: " & radRecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates.ToString())12. radRecurEditor.RecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates = Integer.MaxValue 'does not work!13. radRecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates = Integer.MaxValue 'works!!14. output.Add("Max candidates changed to: " & radRecurrenceRule.MaximumCandidates)15. output.Add("Max occurrences: " & radRecurrenceRule.Range.MaxOccurrences.ToString())16. output.Add("ToList count: " & radRecurrenceRule.Occurrences.ToList().Count)17. output.Add("Total count: " & radRecurrenceRule.Occurrences.Count)18. output.Add("Last recurring date: " & radRecurrenceRule.Occurrences.LastOrDefault())19. lblRadRecurrenceEditorDetails.Text += String.Join("<br>", output)20.End Sub
The RecurrenceEditor RecurrenceRule is designed to get only the Recurrence rule text, which does not contain the number of max candidates. That is why the first approach is not changing the MaximumCandidates property.
In such scenarios, where the recurrence rule needs to be modified, we recommend the approach that you have used in your next reply, assigning the rule to a variable and modify and use the variable.
