Determine Recurrence Rule Type

[rjb227s]

Hi,

I have a string representation of a recurrence rule and need a way to determine the type (hourly, daily, monthly, yearly).  Are there any pre-built methods for accomplishing this.  I'm trying to avoid having to parse the rule to determine its type.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello Ryan,

If you want to avoid parsing, you can use regular expressions. I am no expert in regular expressions, but here is a code sample that could help you get the recurrence type.

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;


public partial class Default4 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string rrule = "DTSTART:20100107T040000Z DTEND:20100107T043000Z RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=10;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=WE";
        Response.Write(Regex.Split(Regex.Split(rrule, "FREQ=")[1], ";")[0]);

    }
}

All the best,
Peter
