hi,
  Im new in telerik. In RadScheduler instead of the default appointmnet window im using RadDock for customize fields.
  And  Im using ColorPicker.I want to change the given appointment color based on the ColorPicker colors, while Save or Update the      
  appointment. Can you please help me?

Hi Rekha,

You can use a custom attribute to store the value of the selected color. Then again using this custom attribute you can read the value and set the appointment BackColor property in AppointmentDataBound:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
       {
           string colorAttribute = e.Appointment.Attributes["AppointmentColor"];
           if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(colorAttribute))
           {
               int colorValue;
               if (int.TryParse(colorAttribute, out colorValue))
               {
                   Color appointmentColor = Color.FromArgb(colorValue);
                   e.Appointment.BackColor = appointmentColor;
                   e.Appointment.BorderColor = Color.Black;
                   e.Appointment.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid;
                   e.Appointment.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(1);
               }
           }
           e.Appointment.ToolTip = e.Appointment.Subject + ": " + e.Appointment.Description;
       }

 

This approach is used in the Advanced Templates demo, which I recommend you use as reference.
