How to use a RadScheduler

[Vuyiswa]

Good Day

My name is Vuyiswa Maseko. Our Company was using Infragistics and we were looking for a scheduling control and we came across telerik Scheduler and we decided that this is the product that we want. I am a Developer myself and i am the one who will be making a decision on which product to buy. 

we are doing a timetabling System and there is a time where we have to display the timetable. i looked at the examples provided on your website, they are exactly what we want like this one

Example 1
Example 2


and the Database Schema is the same as our , we have Rooms table and we have Student Registrations table and we have Subjects. The Final Query that i currently have have all these things and i am just not sure about is the

RecurrenceRule

RecurranceParentID

Annotations

Description

in my final table i have

SELECT distinct&nbsp; ID, Dy,&nbsp; Sess,[Code],[Description],Abrev,[Type],Number,<br>GrpName,GrpNumber,Duration,[Students], <br>[Venue],Capacity,<br>[Staff],[ModlID],[Term]<br>,[StaffTerm]<br>,[Date],[Length]<br>FROM <br>#Final_Timetable <br>

I have Sessions, Day,Venue as ("Rooms") ,Code as ("Subject"), Date("The Data it must be scheduled"), Length (in Minutes), Students as  (Number of Students)

Before i can tell me company to buy the Product i must give them a Demo on this. This is exactly what i want. Can you assist.

Kind Regards

Hello,

I am trying to implement personalized Diary and event organizer sort of application. I am pretty much interested in your controls as it would definately make developers life easy ! but i would like to ask few questions about Scheduler Control:

Q : Just like outlook, May i set it for different personnel so they can manage events and diary at their time and i just view it in their Panel. Setup like, where they will first authenticate from my database and then the scheduler in their login will reflect all enteries and events associated to them.

Please if it is possible then provide with reference link so i may try to play with demo as i am in same situation where i have to present demo to justify its cost of purchase.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hello Adnan Aslam,

You can use the  ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool to create and manage user accounts. After that you can add each user as a resource to the RadScheduler and show only the appointments per user. Please take a look at this demo for a sample.

Hope this helps.

Hello Admin,

I am a beginner. I want to use rad Scheduler in our project. Appointments Table in sql server databse will contain following fields
1.id
2.LessonType
3.StartTime
4.EndTime
5.InstructorId
6.StudentId
7.LessonDescripition
Can you please give some steps to implement this?
Also Is there any way just to inactive the appointment (not delete) just to show that it is suspended.
Please reply soon..

[Veronica]

Hi roshani,

Please take a look at this demo for an example of RadScheduler binded to SQL table.

As for the suspended appointment - you can subscribe to OnAppointmentDataBound event and set the e.Appointment.AllowEdit and e.Appointment.AllowDelete properties to True/False.

All the best,

If you struggle with the Demo, contact me on gtalk vuyiswamb

Your data structure is simple to implement

[roshani]

Thanks for the reply.

Meanwhile I have created a demo project using sql server database and also downloaded the demo project you have provided. Now My requirements is to create a report of all the appointments. Also same is to be created for edited and completed appointments. Plese provide guidelines on how to integrate the telerik reporting tool with this application and how to generate these reports?

[roshani]

Also I need Following functionality:

I want to store some extra information such as comment on the lesson and exact duration taken for the lesson after completion of the perticular lesson. The scenario is that when the instructor clicks on the  appointment done (i.e. the Lesson has been taken on this appointment) a form will pou up where the instructor will enter some details related to the lesson taken. Is this fuctionality is possible with the sheduler?

Hello Admin,

I am unable to download Event Scheduler Demo project. It gives the following error- 

Server Error in '/schedulebuilder' Application.

---

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you please provide the source code for this demo project as soon as possible?. It seems that it will be more helpful to me.

Thanks and regards,
Roshani

mm..

Look at the Stack trace , this error does not have info. Does this happen when you try to run in VS ?

[roshani]

Hi..
This error occurs when I try to download the Event Scheduler sample application. I haven't downloaded it yet.

Hi roshani,

Unfortunately there is a problem when you try to download the application. I'll write you as soon as it is fixed.

Please accept my apologies for the caused inconvenience.

Hello  Admin,

I have implemented almost all functionality that I needed. But I am unable to  implement only one thing. As mentioned earlier, there are two types of resources in the application- Instructor and Student.
Functionality needed: When one select the instructor, The student dropdownlist must be populated with the students assigned to the selected instructor. Please see the attached screen shot.


I have to give a demo before going to the actual implementation and so need it as early as possible.
So please reply as early as possible.

Thanks and Regards,
Roshani

Hello,

I am trying to run RadScheduler for Asp.net AJAX - Customizing Appointments with Resources video; everything is working fine except it is not changing color of appointments that means CSS is not getting associated correctly. I wonder if you can see this code and suggest if i am typing anything wrong ?

Partial

 

Class _Default

 

 

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

 

 

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

 

RadScheduler1.GroupBy = RadComboBox1.SelectedValue

 

End Sub

 

 

Protected Sub RadSchedule_AppointmentCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentCreatedEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.AppointmentCreated

 

 

For Each resource As Telerik.Web.UI.Resource In e.Appointment.Resources

 

 

If resource.Type = "Room" Then

 

e.Appointment.CssClass = resource.Text.Replace(

" ", "_")

 

 

End If

 

 

Next

 

 

End Sub

 

 

End
