[Solved] AdvancedEditTemplate question

[Rune]

Hi,

I am investigating the AdvancedEditTemplate option. I need to be able to put a lot of custom fields on my appointment and when updating them run some C# code to get the information from the template and put it on my appointment.

My problem is that the examples I can find on this websites demos uses XML data providers or Session Data providers and are not very custom.

I have a custom SchedulerProvider wich at the moment handles the whole thing. But after creating an AdvancedEditTemplate I don't know how to access the data in the scheduler.

The question is simple, how do I access my controls in the AdvancedEditTemplate from my SchedulerProvider?

Regards
Rune

Hi Rune,

All additional fields to the appointment should be set as Custom Attributes and binded in the template, for example:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server"
    ProviderName="XmlSchedulerProvider1"
    CustomAttributeNames="Description">
    <AdvancedEditTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="inline-label">Description</asp:Label>
        <asp:TextBox ID="SubjectTextBox" Rows="5" Columns="20" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>' Width="95%" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>
        <br /><br /><br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="DescriptionTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Description") %>' />
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertButton" runat="server" CommandName="Update">Insert</asp:LinkButton>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="InsertCancelButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Cancel">Cancel</asp:LinkButton>
    </AdvancedEditTemplate>
</telerik:RadScheduler>

then they can be found in the Update method of the provider class as attributes ov the updated appointment:

foreach (string attribute in appointmentToUpdate.Attributes.Keys)
{
   String attr = appointmentToUpdate.Attributes[attribute];
}
