Appointment BackColor doesn't work

[Marco]

Hello Telerik family.

I am tring to use scheduler component in a mvc project.
here there is my view :

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="RadSchedulerDemo" Namespace="RadSchedulerDemo.Helpers" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
<script runat="server">
    //needed to run RadScheduler without <form> tag
    public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) {
        //base.VerifyRenderingInServerForm(control);
    }
</script>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Index
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1">
    </telerik:RadScriptManager>

    <!-- to allow for user authentication, a custom control needed to be created to handle
            the ASPXAUTH cookie during the GetResources call.  see
            http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scheduler-authentication-resourcepopulationmode.html
            and relevant code in Helpers\MyScheduler.cs
    -->
    <cc1:MyScheduler ID="MyScheduler1" runat="server" SelectedView="WeekView" StartInsertingInAdvancedForm="true"  AppointmentStyleMode="Default"
        StartEditingInAdvancedForm="true">
        <AdvancedForm Enabled="true" Modal="true" />
        <WebServiceSettings Path="~/SchedulerService" ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide" UseHttpGet="false" />
    </cc1:MyScheduler>
</asp:Content>

And here there is the override of teh GetAppointments from SchedulerProviderBase in my implementation of the WebServiceAppointmentController

public override IEnumerable<Appointment> GetAppointments(RadScheduler owner)

        {

            List<Appointment> list = new List<Appointment>();

            AppointmentDS.SchedarioDataTable dt = null;

            DateTime star;

            DateTime end;

            Dictionary<DateTime, List<Appointment>> dic = new Dictionary<DateTime, List<Appointment>>();

 

            int ora = 9;

            int cont = 0;

 

            try

            {

                dt = dal.getSchedarioDT(DateTime.Today, DateTime.Today.AddDays(-7), DateTime.Today.AddDays(7));

                foreach (AppointmentDS.SchedarioRow row in dt)

                {

 

                    Appointment item = owner.CreateAppointment();

 

                    item.ID = row.STR_Id;

                    if (row.IsTIS_NomeNull())

                        item.Subject = "";

                    else

                        item.Subject = row.TIS_Nome;

 

                    star = new DateTime(row.PST_DataScadenza.Year, row.PST_DataScadenza.Month, row.PST_DataScadenza.Day,0,0,0);

                    end = new DateTime(row.PST_DataScadenza.Year, row.PST_DataScadenza.Month, row.PST_DataScadenza.Day, 0, 0, 0);

                     

                    item.Start = star.ToUniversalTime();

                    item.End = end.ToUniversalTime();

 

                    item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

                    item.CssClass = "testtest";

 

                    list.Add(item);

 

                }

 

               


                 

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                 

                throw;

            }

            return list;

 

        }

How you can see I use the item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

But it don't take effect in the View.

Samebody can help me please?

Thanks a lot

Hello Marco,

With Web Service binding, the BackColor property should be set on the client in OnClientAppointmentDataBound:

function OnClientAppointmentDataBound(sender, args)
     {
         args.get_appointment().set_backColor("yellow");
     }

Kind regards,

Hello Peater

thank for your fast reply, I tried it out and it works perfectly.

But It change all the appointments color.

I would like to change the color dinamicaly using a data row property in my GetAppointments override:
 Like this

if (row.isValid)
    item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
else
    item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

May I replicate the same in the client?

thanks a lot

Marco

Hello Peater

i found a soluction to my problem, your first post opened my mind.

I solved in this way:

in my GetAppointmentsoverride I add an attribute to the Appointment Object  like this:

item.Attributes.Add("isValidate", "no");


in the Client function I added : 
function OnClientAppointmentDataBound(sender, args)
      {
          var obj = args.get_data();
          obj = obj["Attributes"];
          if(obj=="no"){
              args.get_appointment().set_backColor("yellow");
              }
              else{
                 args.get_appointment().set_backColor("red");
              }
      }
I hope that can be useful.

Thanks a lot for your atention
