How can be assignment bars start and end in a timeslot be controlled?

[Vijay]

I am using RadScheduler control in timeline view. Very similar to the following link:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/timelineview/defaultcs.aspx

I have created several assignments with start and end DATETIME's.

For any assignment even if the time start at noon or evenening time, still it will occupy complete timeslot.

For any assignment ending there is some gap in the timeslot which is not consistent with the time.

I want to know that:

1. If for a paricular resource timeslot ends today noon and the next assignment starts today evening, both the assignments occupy part of today's slot, instead of occupying 2 different rows.
Pls check the attached file:
Assignment, Res1-A1 ends at 2/17/2009 13:00 and Res1-A2 starts at 02/17/2009 19:30. But they take 2 different rows. How to avoid this?

2. The gap in the end time slot differs from one assignment to another.
As in the attached file:
Res2-B1 ends at 02/20/2009 00:00. But in the control it occupies only part of Feb 19th slot.
Res1-A2 ends at 02/25/2009 10:30. But in the control it occupies part of Feb 25th.
The gap in both cases are different. how to avaoid this.

Can we have the assignment actually occupy approximate timeslot depending on time and not the full slot.

It does not appear that I can view a support ticket thread that was not created by me. When I try to view this support ticket thread, I get presented with my list of support tickets. Is there a way for me to see this thread?

Thanks.

Hello Paige,

The question which Vijay asked in the ticket was:
"But as I'm showing date in the header, how to manage column name so that I can show one date for these 24 columns."

And our reply was:
"You should use the TimeLabelSpan property. For example:

<TimelineView TimeLabelSpan="4" />
"

Setting the TimeLabelSpan property merges column header cells. For example if you configure RadScheduler's Timeline view as follows:

<TimelineView SlotDuration="6:00" TimeLabelSpan="4" NumberOfSlots="12" />

This will render RadScheduler as in the attached screenshot.
