Adding a recurring appointment in code

[Art]

When a person creates a recurring appointment, our database decodes the recurrence rule and creates an appointment for each occurrence, then saves the recurrence rule as a text string. When loading appointments the recurrence rule is not loaded because all the appointments are loaded.
When a person edits one of those appointments we want to set the recurrence rule to the original value in case they go to edit it the values will be set.
Currently we attempting to set the custom appointment's recurrence rule in the LoadSettingsFromEvent event of the custom apppointment form.

tmpRule = RecurrenceRule.CreateRule(RecurrenceType.Weekly)
tmpRule.count = 25

appointmentWithEmail.RecurrenceRule = tmpRule

How do we add the ByDay value, i.e. "MO,WE,FR", or the WKST value?

Thanks
Art

Hi Art,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can specify the week days for a weekly recurrence rule the following way:

WeeklyRecurrenceRule weeklyRule = (WeeklyRecurrenceRule)RecurrenceRule.CreateRule(RecurrenceType.Weekly);
weeklyRule.WeekDays = WeekDays.Monday | WeekDays.Tuesday | WeekDays.Wednesday;
weeklyRule.Interval = 1;
weeklyRule.Count = 25;

I hope this will help you. Should you need further help, do not hesitate to write back.

Thanks, that should do it, however I think I found  a better way

If dtTemp.Rows(0).Item(1).ToString <> "NA" Then  ' this is the field with the recurrence rule
    strRule = dtTemp.Rows(0).Item(1).ToString
    Dim tmpRule As RecurrenceRule
    Scheduler.ICalendar.CalHelper.TryParseRecurrenceRule(strRule, tmpRule)  ' this enters the values from the rule text
    tmpRule.Start = appointmentWithEmail.Start  ' the parser does not set the start date, so you have to do it
    appointmentWithEmail.RecurrenceRule = tmpRule   '  this adds the rule to the custom appointment
End If

 

It's unfortunate that I couldn't find either of these examples in your documentation.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Saurabh,

Thank you for writing.

Please note that this forum thread concerns the WinForms version of RadScheduler. You have mentioned EditViewController in your post and this makes me think that you are using RadScheduler in a web application. If this is the case, please post on the corresponding forums.

In case you are using the WinForms version, please provide us with more details about your scenario and your requirements and we will do our best to assist you.

Kind regards,
