Advanced form

[Bob]

I have a modified xml Appointments file with users added anb I am using the sample project http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/138467_radschedulermvc-demo.zip .
I have selected StartEditingInAdvancedForm="true", the form opens and I see the User dropdown but it is not populated with the users how do I go about this?

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" Height="100%"
        AllowDelete="False" AllowEdit="False" AllowInsert="False" Skin="Office2007"
            StartEditingInAdvancedForm="true" SelectedView="WeekView"
        DayEndTime="18:00:00" DayStartTime="08:00:00"
            ShowFooter="false" Culture="en-GB">
            <AdvancedForm Modal="true" />
            <ResourceTypes>
                    <telerik:ResourceType KeyField="Key" Name="User" TextField="Text" ForeignKeyField="ID"
                        DataSourceID="XmlSchedulerProvider" />
                </ResourceTypes>
        <WebServiceSettings Path="~/Models/SchedulerWebService.asmx" />
    </telerik:RadScheduler>

Thanks

Hi Bob,

The problem is that you are trying to retrieve a Resource with Name="User":

<telerik:ResourceType KeyField="Key" Name="User" TextField="Text" ForeignKeyField="ID"
                        DataSourceID="XmlSchedulerProvider" />

As I can see in your .xml file that XmlProvider uses you have only one resource with Name="Calendar":

<Resources>
    <Calendar>
      <Key>1</Key>
      <Text>Development</Text>
    </Calendar>
    <Calendar>
      <Key>2</Key>
      <Text>Marketing</Text>
    </Calendar>
    <Calendar>
      <Key>3</Key>
      <Text>Personal</Text>
    </Calendar>
    <Calendar>
      <Key>4</Key>
      <Text>Work</Text>
    </Calendar>
  </Resources>

Now to be able to see the the combobox populated - set only the name of the resource:

               <ResourceTypes>
               <telerik:ResourceType Name="Calendar" />
           </ResourceTypes>

Other properties as DataSourceID, KeyField and TextField are needed only if you want to get the resources from different DataSource as in this demo.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I have actually changed the XML file, but still I get no users in the drop down box.

<Appointments>
    <NextID>14</NextID>
    <Resources>
        <Room>
            <Key>1</Key>
            <Text>Meeting room 101</Text>
        </Room>
        <Room>
            <Key>2</Key>
            <Text>Meeting room 201</Text>
        </Room>
        <User>
            <Key>1</Key>
            <Text>Alex</Text>
        </User>
        <User>
            <Key>2</Key>
            <Text>Bob</Text>
        </User>
        <User>
            <Key>3</Key>
            <Text>Charlie</Text>
        </User>
    </Resources>

Hello Bob,

Please accept my apologies for the late reply.

You need to specify the ResourcePopulationMode in the WebServiceSettings tag:

<WebServiceSettings Path="~/Models/SchedulerWebService.asmx" ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide" />

In your case it is ServerSide as you are using a method in the code of your service GetResources:

[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
        public IEnumerable<ResourceData> GetResources(SchedulerInfo schedulerInfo)
        {
            return Controller.GetResources(schedulerInfo);
        }

All the best,
