How to make an appointment an "all day appointment"?

[Gint]

Hello Community and telerik,

What properties do I have to set to get an "all day appointment"?

I want multiple appointments spanning the same time (00:00-24:00) to show up at the top of the day-view, in week-view and in month-view.

Thanks,
Gint

In the advanced form there is a checkbox for All Day. The way it saves to the database for an all day appt for September 21, 2011 is for the start = 2011-09-21 00:00:00.000 and the end = 2011-09-22 00:00:00.000.

Hi Jürgen,

To set the "all day" row to be visible at the top of all the appointments for the day, the ShowAllDayRow property of the RadScheduler should be set to "true" as it is by default.

Here is an example:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" ShowAllDayRow="true" />...

As Dan suggested, the all day appointments are made using the "All Day" check box in the advanced form of the RadScheduler.

If you want to set the appointment's start time and end time properties from code-behind so the appointment
would last a whole day, you could use the code bellow:
C#:

Appointment app = new Appointment();
app.Subject = "My appointment";
DateTime startDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime startTime = startDate.AddHours(-startDate.Hour);
startTime = startTime.AddMinutes(-startDate.Minute);
startTime = startTime.AddSeconds(-startDate.Second);
startDate = startTime.AddMilliseconds(-startDate.Millisecond);
app.Start = startTime;

DateTime endDate = DateTime.Now;
DateTime endTime = endDate.AddHours(24-endDate.Hour);
endTime = endTime.AddMinutes(-endDate.Minute);
endTime = endTime.AddSeconds(-endDate.Second);
endTime = endTime.AddMilliseconds(-endDate.Millisecond);
app.End = endTime;

RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(app);

Hope this helps.

In my case, I need to use the format  2011-09-21 00:00:00.000 and the end = 2011-09-22 00:00:00.000.
If I use the format  2011-09-21 00:00:00.000 and the end = 2011-09-21 23:59:59.000, I will run into an issue when I connect to another system (software) we are using.

Please refer to the png.  I have  time range indicators on the AllDay row, so I can't disable the AllDay Row unless I can add an additional row for the time range indicators.thanks
Is there an easy way to show the Allday appointmet in the time slot (cover the entire day) without using 23:59:59.000 format?
Should I disable the AllDay row and add an additional row for the time range indicators?  if yes, how?

Hi Allen,

Setting time range into the column headers in week/multiday View of RadScheduler is not a functionality that is supported out-of-the-box.

As for how RadScheduler behaves when the 'All-day row" is enabled, please take a look at the following online demo (under the "Day, Week, and Multiday Views" section): http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/customization/defaultcs.aspx.

Hi,

Is there a way in which I can keep the all day appointment for a fixed time i.e the working time.

I have a time limit of 8 AM to 7.30 Pm and I want to have all day appointment only for this time. What modifications should I do?

Hi,

 
RadScheduler can only work with 24 hours All day appointments and unfortunately the desired functionality is not supported.
