Binding Recurrence Editor from code behind

[Brian King]

Hi, I have a question regarding if anything special is needed to bind a recurrence editor from a code behind file. I am using an Advanced form where I pull open a Rad Dock to handle my scheduler appointment creation. The problem I have occurs when someone goes to edit a series. I am retrieving the Recurrence rule from the master appointment as well as the original start date and end date and I'm binding them in the Scheduler.FormCreating event in the code behind. It looks something like this:

StartTime.SelectedDate = TheScheduler.UtcToDisplay(master.Start);
EndTime.SelectedDate = TheScheduler.UtcToDisplay(master.End);
SubjectText.Text = master.Subject;
DescriptionText.Text = master.Description;

This binds all of the master appointment data to the Rad Dock even if someone selects to edit the series from an occurrence that isn't the master event. This works fine once the Rad Dock loads and displays the values; however, if a user chooses to go on and triggers a post-back my Recurrence Rule's start and end time isn't being remembered. It shows up in the Rad Dock properly, but does not remember the start and end values after post-back. Here's an example of the values I am getting on load, and those I am getting on post back:

//On Load (RecurrenceRuleText retrieved from VS2010 Immediate Window)
"DTSTART:20101227T000000Z\r\nDTEND:20101228T000000Z\r\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=4;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA,SU\r\n"

//On Post-back (RecurrenceRuleText retrieved from VS2010 Immediate Window)
"DTSTART:20000101T000000Z\r\nDTEND:20000102T000000Z\r\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=4;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA,SU\r\n"

The strange part is that the other aspects of the Recurrence rule are remembered properly which leads me to think maybe I am not binding my StartTime and EndTime values correctly.

I was toying around with this some more and I may have gotten it to work. I added the databind method to the start and end dates and it's worked sporadically, which leads me to think it may be tied to something else. I'm going to step through some more code and see if I can pinpoint the time when the error occurs.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for sharing your findings in the forum. We have also experienced some issues with the Recurrence editor, so we are conducting a separate investigation. You could help us a lot if you open a support ticket and send us a simple working demo of the problem. Your effort will be rewarded with Telerik points.


Greetings,

Thanks Peter, I'm close to having a working demo ready, but it's taken a bit of effort to strip everything out considering the original project used DNN with a separate script manager. I have been able to isolate it, but events are not firing properly at the moment so once I can get that fixed I will be opening a ticket.

Alright I've submitted the ticket with the ID# 379659 I'll update this thread with any information I find for those following.
