Is there some way to get the upcoming events?

[Sanjeev Bora]

Is there a way I can catch hold of the next 10 upcoming events for a user and display them in a listbox? The Recurrence rule poses a major roadblock here. Any light on this will be appreciated.

Hello Sanjeev Bora,



I didn't understood your question. If you want to see which event is fired on current action you can take a look at this demo for Client-Side events of the RadScheduler. Please note that each client-side event has a corresponding server-side event. If you have any doubts or questions on the server-side events - you can take a look at this help section.



All the best,

Ah, actually what I need is, since the Scheduler is in MonthView mode, if there are multiple parallel events they are not quickly visible to the user. So  I would want to catch the next 10 upcoming events for the user (using SQL query on the Events table) and display them to the user. While querying the data, since the RECURRENCE_RULE field has complex syntax in it, do you think we have a easier way to query the DB to get the upcoming events?

Thanks

Ah i figured out ... I can catch the RadScheduler1_AppointmentCreated event and populate my list box..

Unfortunately if I catch the e.Appointment in the event RadScheduler1_AppointmentCreated, it gives me the start date of the event, but not the recurring event time and date.... How can I achieve this? Is it possible at all to catch the recurring event date, time ?

Hi Sanjeev,

Yes, you can parse the recurrence rule as shown in this kb article -
