Hi there,

I have implemented a custom provider for my RadScheduler, and everything appears to be working - at least, the overridden methods in that provider are being called when the scheduler loads up.

But in order to get it working completely, I have to have access to the public interface of my custom provider from the form on which my scheduler appears. And that is a lot trickier than I had expected. See, the scheduler has a "ProviderName" property, which is set, as expected, to "MyCustomProvider1". But the Provider property does not refer to an instance of the MyCustomProvider class! scheduler.Provider.Description even says "MyCustomProvider1" - but how do I get access to the MyCustomProvider object itself?

Thanks,

Shaul

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply.

To create the provider I followed the design pattern described in the Teacher/Class/Students example in the RadScheduler documentation (obviously with some differences according to my situation).

Now my list of multiple selectable resources is not static; it is dynamic, depending on contextual data on the web page. So I need to be able to pass to the provider a collection of objects that it can translate into available resources.

How do I pass that collection to my provider?

Thanks,

Shaul
