Hi Vanja,

Please check this help article - it demonstrates how to load appointments in the RadScheduleView using MVVM approach. You can add your logic for parsing the XML file without a problem.

Hope this helps.

Can you please help me with adding appointment from code.. This is my code in C#.. I have" ObservableCollection<ResourceType> ResourcesTypes" as ScheduleView groups so I want to add appointments in that groups with "ObservableCollection<Appointment> Appointments"..

Here is my code...

Groups:
 

private ObservableCollection<ResourceType> GenerateResourceTypes()
     {
         ObservableCollection<ResourceType> result = new ObservableCollection<ResourceType>();
         ParseXML();

         ResourceType kanal = new ResourceType("Kanal");
         for (int i = 0; i < KanalList.Count; i++)
         {
             Resource imekanala = new Resource(KanalList[i]);
             kanal.Resources.Add(imekanala);

         }

         result.Add(kanal);
         return result;
     }

     public MyViewModel()
     {
         ResourcesTypes = GenerateResourceTypes();
         Appointments = new ObservableCollection<Appointment>();
     }

I tried to add appointment in group like this but its not working..

public ObservableCollection<Appointment> Appointments { get; set; }
   public ObservableCollection<ResourceType> ResourcesTypes { get; set; }

   private ObservableCollection<ResourceType> GenerateResourceTypes()
   {
       ObservableCollection<ResourceType> result = new ObservableCollection<ResourceType>();
       ParseXML();

       Appointment test = new Appointment { Start = DateTime.Now, End = DateTime.Today.AddHours(2), Subject = "Appointment" };

       ResourceType kanal = new ResourceType("Kanal");
       for (int i = 0; i < KanalList.Count; i++)
       {
           Resource imekanala = new Resource(KanalList[i]);
           kanal.Resources.Add(imekanala);
       }
       result.Add(kanal);
       return result;
   }

   public MyViewModel()
   {
       ResourcesTypes = GenerateResourceTypes();
       Appointments = new ObservableCollection<Appointment>();
   }

Don't know how to add appointment in ResourcesTypes ??

Hello Vanja,

You just need to add the resource to Resources property of the appointment:

Appointment test = new Appointment {

   Start = DateTime.Now,
    End = DateTime.Today.AddHours(2),
    Subject = "Appointment"

};

test.Resources.Add(new Resource("Kanal1", "Kanal"));

Also note the you should group the RadScheduleView by "Kanal" resource type in order to display the appointment:

<telerik:RadScheduleView x:Name="ScheduleView"
           AppointmentsSource="{Binding Appointments}"
               ResourcesSource="{Binding ResourcesTypes}">
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        <telerik:MonthViewDefinition />
        <telerik:WeekViewDefinition />
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>
        <telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>
            <telerik:DateGroupDescription />
            <telerik:ResourceGroupDescription ResourceType="Kanal" />
        </telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>
</telerik:RadScheduleView>

Hope this helps.

All the best,
