PROJECT DESCRIPTION

From Service Pack 1 Q2 2013 RadScheduler can be bound to HTTP service using ASP.NET Web API. ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.

RadScheduler supports all CRUD operations "Create, Read, Update, and Delete” when it is using Web Api DataBinding. In this example we use EntityFramework Code First.

Besides Telerik dlls RadScheduler Web Api binding requires references to Newtonsoft.Json.dll,  System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll, System.Web.Http.dll and System.Web.Http.WebHost.dll.

Hi there! I am trying to bind RadScheduler to Web API service, using Entity framework as a backend. The exaple project here uses an XML file acting as a database. My first question is there any other example project you can point me to, where Entity framework is used as backend and am I supposed to implement a custom Data Provider like the custom XML provider in this sample project for using Entity Framework?

Hello Anton,

In such case we recommend implementing custom DB provider as for example it is explained here and implementing the CRUD operations for the appointment by using your entity model.
