Getting Appointment from Occurrence?

[Scott]

Hi All,

How does one get a reference to the "master" or "parent" of an appointment occurrence?

For example, user clicks on an occurrence in the RadScheduleView, the RadScheduleView.SelectedItem returns the IOccurrence object selected by the user. How can I get to the original appointment and all of its properties givin only the IOccurrence object?

EDIT: The AppointmentEditDialogViewModel's Occurrence property/object has a .Master property as I recall. This is the functionality I need: to determine the "master" appointment given an occurrence.

Cheers,
Scott

Hello Scott,

You should use Appointment property of the Occurrence in order to get the parent appointment:

var parentApp = (scheduleView.SelectedAppointment as Occurrence).Appointment;

Hi Yana,

Can  you further explain the difference between the Occurrence.Appointment and Occurrence.Master properties? I see that they are sometimes different and sometimes point to the same object. How should we be using these properties?

Hi Simon,

Occurrence.Master is always the appointment which holds the RecurrenceRule. Occurrence.Appointment is different for regular occurrences and for exception occurrences: for regular occurrences it is the same as Occurrence.Master and for exception occurrences it is actually the appointment of the exception.

Hope this clears things up.

All the best,
