Implementing cusotm business layer provider

[Jan]

Hi,

I have hard time finding some resources how to implement custom provider, in past I found this article

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/schedule_databindingimplementingaprovider.html

but now I can’t access it.

Do you have any workaround to get that information, or it’s unavailable on purpose?

Thanks for info

Hello Jan,

We've made some changes to the help articles as well as the links. However there are places left that need to be changed. The right url for Using a Data Provider is: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/scheduler-implementing-provider.html

Could you please tell me where did you found the opld url so we can fix it?

Thank you!

Hi  found it here

http://www.telerik.com/help/search.aspx?pId=561&ppId=561&start=0&q=provider

And its third link...

I think its different document, but nevermind, the one you referenced looks better.

And I think Google have indexed wrong page as well.

Cheers

Uhm,

I found bit troubling following that how-to document you sent me..

The heading of the page said

To implement a RadScheduler provider, you create a class that inherits from SchedulerProviderBase. It must implement the GetAppointments, Insert, Update, Delete, GetResourceTypes and GetResourcesByType methods.

So, when I implement it Visual Studio test project i get exception

Please override GetResources(ISchedulerInfo) when implementing a new provider.

Can you provide any solution for this?

Many thanks!

Hi Jan,

It seems a problem in your implementation only as I followed the steps of the help article and didn't received your error. Could you please send me your project so I can inspect it and help you?

Thank you!

P.S: As this is a forum thread - you are not allowed to attach .zip files. Instead you can use one of the sites for free online storage as 4shared.com.

Kind regards,

I cant really share source code with you.

But I implemented this workaround:

 

public override IDictionary<ResourceType, IEnumerable<Resource>> GetResources(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo)
        {
            return new Dictionary<ResourceType, IEnumerable<Resource>>();
        }
