Appointement template according to datasource field

[Dédé]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to set appointement template according to a datasource field...
For example :

I have a datasource selecting current day appointements, with id, start, end, subject...
I want to add a field "type" that will be used to select rendering template. And each template will contain different controls that will show data according to "type"... Type 1 => template 1, showing appointement fields "fieldone", "fieldtwo"... Type 2 => Template 2, showing appointement fields "fieldthree"... And so on...

Thanks

Hi Damien,

It seems to me that the most logical solution would be to create and add templates dynamically. Here is a kb article which will guide you how to do this:

Hi,

Thanks, but I have succedded with another solution :

I have made a custom ScheduleProvider, with custom Appointment types.
One field is an index that will be bound to a radmultipage selectedindex property. So I have appointments rendered as I want, without writing code.

I will take a look at your KB to see if it is better for my needs...

Hi Damien,

That's an interesting approach. We will appreciate if you open a support ticket and send us your implementation for review. We might upload it as a code library project.

Hi,

Here you have ASPX code for defining appointment template according to an appointment field.
You need to define your own SchedulerProvider and Appointment classes.

In my example, my Appointment class inherits from Telerik.Web.UI.Appointment and define a field IdAppointmentType to choose template to render :

    public class AppointmentBase:Appointment
    {
        public int IdAppointmentType
        {
            get { return this.GetValue<int>("IdAppointmentType", 0); }
            set { this.SetValue<int>("IdAppointmentType", value); }
        }

        protected void SetValue<T>(string name, T value)
        {
            this.ViewState[name] = value;
        }

        protected T GetValue<T>(string name, T nullValue)
        {
            return (T)(this.ViewState[name] ?? nullValue);
        }
    }

My SchedulerProvider returns a collection of AppointmentBase class.
