how to covert the sharepoint RecurrenceData field(xml) to RecurrencePattern in rad SchedlerView

[Tamkeen]

 Hi sir,

i need pass the RecurrencePattern   from SchedlerView   to sharepoint  RecurrenceData field
 the problem is :
1) i ll get RecurrencePattern from  rad SchedlerView  ll be in string format ie "FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20111216T040000Z;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA" i need to convert to xml  to store  it in sharepoint RecurrenceData field
2)sharepoint RecurrenceData field takes only xml ie
                  //"<recurrence>
                //           <rule>
                //           <firstDayOfWeek>
                //            su
                //          </firstDayOfWeek>
                //        <repeat>
                //        <weekly su='TRUE' mo='TRUE' tu='TRUE' weekFrequency='1' />
                //         </repeat>
                //      <repeatForever>FALSE"
                //     </repeatForever>
                //         </rule>
                //      </recurrence>";
how to convert this  xml into RecurrencePattern string ie (" FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20111216T040000Z;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA" ) and  (vis versa) is there any way i can do it ?
now i am doing this manual like this only for " WEEKLY"  Recurrence

Hi Tamkeen,

 
You need to handle this scenario manually. The RadScheduleView exposes helper classes that convert the recurrence pattern to iCal format and back, but not the sharepoint recurrence data. We will consider implementing such feature for the RadScheduleView control. You can vote for the feature here - http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/silverlight/8237

All the best,
George

Hello, 

I am trying to do similar thing. If you have already did that can you please share the code? Thanks.

Hi,

This feature hasn't been planed to be implemented in the ScheduleView control yet and currently we don't have an examples demonstrating how it could be achieved in the current version of the control that we can share with you. As George mentioned in order to achieve the desired behavior you will need to handle this scenario manually.

You can read this help article that goes through the RecurrencePatternHelper class.

All the best,

Hi Tamkeen and Muhammad

Did you ever manager to create a robust method to do this conversion (both ways)? I am in the same situation and looking for a good way to do this.
