Hi,
I'm currently evaluating the ASP.NET AJAX Telerik components for use in a Daily Employee Scheduler web app I'll be making. I've looked at both the RadScheduler and RadGrid however I don't think either fully meets our needs and I'm wondering what you would suggest I use (if any).
The app will generate a schedule that consists of which area the employee will be working for a given day (time ranges etc don't matter). I also want to be able to drag and drop a work area between two employees and have their value swap, or click to modify on an assigned area to easily change it. If we think of this as a grid, employee names would be the row header, the date would be the column header and the work area would be the cell value.
The RadScheduler component is attractive (easily able to move around appointments and create new ones), but looks like it's hard coded to have times along the left hand column, ideally I'd like to have employee's names there and the date on the top column but I don't know if that is possible.
The RadGrid component is also attractive, but there doesn't seem to be support for dragging and dropping cells in it, only entire rows.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Travis,
Have you seen the Resource Grouping demo in Timeline view? Is this close to what you need?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the quick response. Actually this looks like it might work for us. I've got the employees along the left hand side now as resources. I've also hidden the hours by setting the DayStartTime, DayEndTime, WorkDayStartTime, and WorkDayEndTime to all be the same value.
Thanks,

However I’m getting an error now when I try and switch to week view (ideally the view we would be using)
Any ideas? (please see screenshots attached)
Thanks,

Hello Travis,
I tried to replicate the problem locally, but to no avail. Attached is the test sample I used. Could you please inspect it and let me know what is different with your implementation? It would be best if you can modify my sample so that the problem occurs and send it back to me via a support ticket.

Hi Peter,
I actually ended up re-creating my solution for testing and didn't come across the issue again. Not sure what was wrong with the original one. Thanks again for all of your help!
