[Solved] FormCreated event fires when AppointmentCommand Update button is clicked

[Sven]

Hello,

I am using the AdvancedEditTemplate and prepopulating custom resources in the FormCreated event.  When I click the Update button on the edit form, the FormCreated event is firing again (before the AppointmentCommand event) and resetting all of the custom resources to their original values and wiping out the user's edits.

How can the Update button be configured to just fire the AppointmentCommand event without firing the FormCreated event first?

Hi Sven,

The FormCreated event is indeed fired each time the form is about to be rendered. Sometimes this event is used to add controls to the form, so these controls must be recreated before each postback.

One option is to keep a flag in the ViewState, so you can populate the form fields only on initial load.

Another option would be to attach the event handler in the Page_Load method. This way you will only receive the first event, as the subsequent ones are fired before this method.

Could you please send example of keep a flag in View State

Hi Marco,

Here is an example:

protected void RadScheduler1_FormCreated(object sender, SchedulerFormCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (ViewState["FormCreatedFlag"] == "true")
            return;
        ViewState["FormCreatedFlag"] = "true";
        Response.Write(DateTime.Now);
    }
