[Solved] eventArgs.get_newStartTime() format issue

[Joe]

I have this property of the RadScheduler:  OnClientAppointmentMoveEnd="AppointmentMoveEnd", below is the javascript for the function.  It fires after you move an appointment in the scheduler.

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server">
           <script type="text/javascript">
               
                function AppointmentMoveEnd(sender, eventArgs)
                {
                    var ajaxManager = $find("<%=RadAjaxManager1.ClientID%>");
                    var apt = eventArgs.get_appointment();
                    var newStartTime = eventArgs.get_newStartTime();
                    alert(newStartTime);

                     ajaxManager.ajaxRequest(newStartTime);

                }
           </script>
       </telerik:RadScriptBlock>

So looking at this line above (ajaxManager.ajaxRequest(newStartTime);) - this calls my C# server side code, in there I try to convert newStartTime to a .NET DateTime object, but the string looks like this:

"Sun Jun 29 2008 09:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)"

- the above does not convert to a DateTime object (using Convert.ToDateTime()).  I could obviously manipulate this with javascript to work, but is there somethign built in that i can use?  RadControls are developed for .NET code, you think it would convert to a .NET convertable string object.  It would probably work if the 'Sun' part was not there.   Thank you

Hello Joe,

In fact the property returns a Date object, so it is up to the browser to decide how to convert it to a string. You can use the following code from our RadWindow integration example:

function formatDate(date)
{
    var year = padNumber(date.getFullYear(), 4);
    var month = padNumber(date.getMonth() + 1, 2);
    var day = padNumber(date.getDate(), 2);
    var hour = padNumber(date.getHours(), 2);
    var minute = padNumber(date.getMinutes(), 2);

    return year + month + day + hour + minute;
}

Then on the server:

DateTime.ParseExact(jsTime, "yyyyMMddHHmm", null);

I hope this helps.

Ah of course, i was already using that javascript a couple lines above, for inserting and editing appointments.  Maybe thats why people usually dont work on sundays.  thank you
