Are there any APIs to get next occurences from the recurrence pattern string

[anand]

HI,
      What I am trying to do is use the UI of RadSchedulerRecurrenceEditor and save the pattern string into database. Then a windows service will pick this up and update the next occurence into database.
Is there a way to do this?
Are there any APIs that I can use in win service or a console application to get the next occurence from the pattern string?

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Anand,

Yes, you can parse the recurrence rule to get all occurrences. Here are related articles that will help you with this task -

Hi Peter,
           I saw the links below. I tried to add reference of Telerik.Web.UI to a an windows service. But it doesn't allow me to do so. It gives a compile time error:-
The referenced assembly "Telerik.Web.UI" could not be resolved because it has a dependency on "System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" which is not in the currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client". Please remove references to assemblies not in the targeted framework or consider retargeting your project. radschedulertest

I also read a response which had a dll with the RecurrenceEngine separated out into Telerik.Web.UI.RecurrenceEngine.dll. But issue with this dll was that when I tried to parse the RecurrenceRule string it didn't get parsed. All strings that I tried, were created using the web RecurrenceEditor.
I am using Visual Studio 4 Ultimate edition to test this.

It would be great if you can help.
Thanks & Regards.

Hello Anand,

You might need RadScheduler for WinForms for this case. I advise you to start a new thread in the WinForms forums.

All the best,
