Custom appointment class & AppointmentCreating

[Francisco Bernardo]

Hello I'm migrating from Scheduler to Scheduleview and I am finding some issues. I have an implementation scenario similar to this one
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/scheduleview/appointmentcreatingeventargs-appointment-is-read-only.aspx 

..and followed the official guide 
"For the next step, it is important to set the AppointmentsSource of RadScheduleView to be of type IList<Task>, because this way the ScheduleView knows that our custom appointments should be of type Task. Let's create an ObservableCollection<Task> using the following approach:"

However, this way it is impossible to create new Appointment by double click. I've found this post describing the same behaviour and the suggested solution actually works, however this conflict with the first link's scenario, which is used when I am creating Appointments, I can't set a new Instance of my custom class to the e.Appointment, because there is no set accessor.

Is this some known issue?

Hi Francisco,

You should be able to set the AppointmentsSource of the ScheduleView to an ObvservableCollection<CustomAppointmentClass> without a problem - the approach is demonstrated in our online example here. Note that your CustomAppointmentClass should inherit Appointment/AppointmentBase and should override Copy and CopyFrom methods.

Please try it and if you still experience any issues, contact us again.
