Inline Templates

[Susan]

I have looked for an answer to my problem, but cannot figure it out. Here is a copy of my code. When I execute it, it errors in the _FormCreated as the subjectBox is Nothing.

Hello Susan,

We tested your code and it worked fine at our end. Anyway, you can try to binding the Text property inline:

 <asp:TextBox ID="TitleTextBox" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>' Rows="5" Columns="20" runat="server" Width="97%" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>

Peter,
I get the same error. Let me show you my databinding, as that is obviously different that what you are testing my code with. Maybe I'm doing something wrong there. It is in my code-behind:

    Dim CalendarEventDAL as New CalendarEventDAL

    objReader = CalendarEventDAL.GetEventsByOrganization(Viewstate("OrganizationKey"))

    calEvents.DataSource = objReader
    calEvents.DataStartField = "EventStartTime"
    calEvents.DataEndField = "EventEndTime"
    calEvents.DataKeyField = "CalendarEventOrganizationKey"
    calEvents.DataSubjectField = "EventName"
    calEvents.DataBind

    If Not objReader.IsClosed Then objReader.Close

Thanks,
Susan

I should have mentioned that when binding the Text property inline as I suggested in my previous reply, you no longer need to access the title textbox in FormCreated. Yet, the Text property will populate with the appointment subject.

Thanks Peter. That took care of the error. Now, however, when I 'Save', I would assume it would call my 'calEvents_AppointmentInsert' method. I put a breakpoint there, but it never gets called.

<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="calEvents" Width="925" ShowViewTabs="false" StartEditingInAdvancedForm="false" Skin="Office2007" OnAppointmentInsert="calEvents_AppointmentInsert" OnFormCreating="calEvents_FormCreating">

  Protected Sub calEvents_AppointmentInsert(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerCancelEventArgs)

    Dim CalendarEventDAL as New CalendarEventDAL
    Dim CalendarEventBE as New CalendarEventBE

    CalendarEventBE.OrganizationKey = Viewstate("OrganizationKey")
    CalendarEventBE.EventName = e.Appointment.Subject
    CalendarEventBE.EventStartTime = e.Appointment.Start
    CalendarEventBE.EventEndTime = e.Appointment.End
    CalendarEventBE.EventBGColor = "#FFFF66"

    CalendarEventDAL.SaveOrganizationEvent(CalendarEventBE)

    calEvents.Rebind

  End Sub

Thanks for the help. I'll get there eventually....

Yes, AppointmentInsert' should occur if you are creating a new appotiment. If you are just editing an existing appointment, then you need to handle AppointmentUpdate. Can you please make sure that this is not the case?


All the best,

This is brand new logic - I have not used it. There are no existing appointments. I'm double-clicking a time slot on the calendar and the first inline template appears (the smaller on). I think click 'Advanced' and the advanced template appears. I enter the subject and press 'Save'. The AppointmentCreated does not get fired.

Thanks,
Susan

[Peter]

That's unusual. Can you open a support ticket and send us a simple working demo which we can test locally?


Best wishes,
