[Solved] Knowing when an appointment is "now"

[terrysmith]

I've looked through the documentation and through a lot of the forum threads, and I haven't found an answer to a very basic question. I must be overlooking it though...

If I use the scheduler to schedule alerts or processing jobs that need to be created when the "appointment" fires, how do I know when the appointment is "now"? Is there not a way in the object model to iterate all the appointments every x minutes and determine that it should execute now without doing all of the time/date comparisons myself?

For example in VB.NET:

For Each appointment In appointments
   If appointment.IsInRange( startTime, endTime ) Then
      Execute( appointment )
   End If
Next

Thank you,
Terry

Hello,

You can use the GetAppointmentsInRange method for this purpose:

For Each apt As Appointment In RadScheduler1.Appointments.GetAppointmentsInRange(startDate, endDate)
        ' ...
Next

I hope this helps.
