Auto Reschedule Appointments Based on Appointment Move

[ChrisC.]

Is there a way to have RadScheduler reschedule all appointments based on an appointment move?  What I mean is, if the user moves an appointment, it should adjust the start/end times of the rest of the appointments to fill in any empty timeslots.

What I'm trying to do is have the scheduler detect empty timeslots and move appointments automatically when an appointment fits in the empty timeslot.

Hi Chris,

There could be a number of challenges with this scenario primarily related to the way you bind RadScheduler, the number of appointments and recurring appointments. In general, you can obtain the time shift in AppointmentUpdate and then use it to update the rest of the appointments.

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
   {
       TimeSpan timeShift = e.Appointment.Start - e.ModifiedAppointment.Start;
       foreach (Appointment a in RadScheduler1.Appointments)
       {
           a.Start = a.Start.Add(timeShift);
           a.End = a.End.Add(timeShift);
           RadScheduler1.UpdateAppointment(a);
       }
   }

Kind regards,
