[Solved] Appointment Description field missing?

[Joe Buckle]

Good day!

I'm trying to follow the online demos on a current project using the RadScheduler, but it seems that the Description field for the Appointment is missing. Was it removed on purpose on the latest version of the RadControls?

Thank you very much.

Hi Joe Buckle,

Not, it is not removed. You can find it working on our online demos. Please make sure that you use at least the Q3 2009 version.

Thank you very much. The property is now visible. But I tried to set the DataDescriptionField="Description", which maps to a Description property of my custom Appointment class/object. After binding a list of my custom Appointment class/objects to the scheduler, the description doesn't show on the appointment in the UI, only the subject.

Thanks.

Hi Joe Buckle,

Do you mean that the Description input field is not shown in the Advanced Form or the text of the description is not pre-filled? Can you attach a screenshot please?

Good day!

The Description is not appearing on the appointment on the scheduler. I also tried to modify the sample (Binding to Generic List) that comes with the installer by setting the DataDescriptionField and even the EnableDescriptionField, but it also doesn't work. I have attached a screenshot.

Thanks.

Hello Joe Buckle,

The Description field appears by default only in the Advanced Form (when you edit/insert appointment with Advanced form). If you want to show it in that view - you need to use AppointmentTemplate:

<AppointmentTemplate>
     <div class="rsAptSubject">
          <%# Eval("Subject") %>
      </div>
          <%# Eval("Description") %>
</AppointmentTemplate>

You can see a running example here (just add a description to any of the apppointments)
