Non-recurring task being displayed as recurrence

[Matt]

Awesome software!  I'm playing around w/the trial software, just getting my feet wet.  Everything works great so far, expect for one thing.  All the tasks that I create show up w/the recurring task icon whether they have a recurrence assigned or not.  Likewise, when I click on any item the "Editing a recurring appointment" challenge box pops up.  If I select "Edit the series" the page errors out.  Obviously because there is really no recurrence assigned.  I looked in the db and the recurrence field is empty.

Any ideas?

Thank you, Matt.

Can you open a support ticket and send us a simple demo of the problem? This is strange and we are not sure what could be causing it.

I think I figured out what's going on.  The RecurrenceParentID field is being populated with a zero.  Is the code looking for a task with ParentID zero?  Null is not a valid entry into an int type field.  Is there a workaround for this?  Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Matt,

The usual approach is to make the int field in the Database nullable. If this is not viable for your scenario, you can handle the AppointmentDataBound event and check if the RecurrenceParentID is 0 and set it to 'null' if it is. This should fix the problem.

Thanks for the response.  I figured it out. I was confused because the field was set to null in MSSQL.  I realized that I needed to update my linq to sql file.  Once I fixed the value there the issue was taken care of.
