AppointmentTemplate

[salman]

Hi,

I want to add templates at run-time.  Could you please let me know where and how would I do that in code insetead of aspx page.  I'm building a server control and cannot use aspx. 

<telerik:Radschdular>
<AppointmentTemplate>
<%# Eval("Subject")%>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lbl1" />
</AppointmentTemplate>
</telerik:Radschdular>

I think i need to use this in the code:
RadScheduler1.AppointmentTemplate.InstantiateIn(lbl1);

But, i'm not sure how to use this.  Any help or suggestion would be appereciated.

Thank you,
-Sal

Hello,

You need to create a class that implements ITemplate. For example:

public class AppTemplate : ITemplate
{
    private Literal subject;

    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        subject = new Literal();
        subject.DataBinding += subject_DataBinding;

        Label lbl1 = new Label();
        lbl1.ID = "lbl1";

        container.Controls.Add(subject);
        container.Controls.Add(lbl1);
    }

    private void subject_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        IDataItemContainer aptContainer = (IDataItemContainer) subject.BindingContainer;
        subject.Text = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode((string) DataBinder.Eval(aptContainer.DataItem, "Subject"));
    }
}

Then you need to set the template on each PageLoad:

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadScheduler1.AppointmentTemplate = new AppTemplate();
}

I hope this helps.
