e.Appointment.BackColor not Working.

[L]

hi

This is my code:

<ResourceTypes>
                     <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="sdsUsers" ForeignKeyField="UserID"
                         KeyField="UserID" Name="User_Name" TextField="User_Name" />
</ResourceTypes>

    Protected Sub RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.AppointmentDataBound
        If e.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User_Name") IsNot Nothing Then
            e.Appointment.BackColor = DataBinder.Eval(e.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User_Name").DataItem, "BackColor")
        End If
    End Sub

My user table schema:

UserID
User_Name
BackColor

I still do not get any color for the scheduler. What went wrong with my setting?

Hi L,

Did the DataBinder.Eval(e.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User_Name").DataItem, "BackColor") expression returns any color? As another option I'll suggest you to use Custom Attributes to store the BackColor property for each appointment and later you can use code similar to the following to set the BackColor:

Protected Sub RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerEventArgs)
    If e.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User_Name") IsNot Nothing Then
        e.Appointment.BackColor = e.Attributes("BackColor")
    End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.
