Not showing changed Subject in TimeLineView

[Kushil]

I am using radScheduler in a typical web form page with server side binding to a generic list. I use timeline view only.
In client side's "OnClientAppointmentResizeEnd" javascript event I need to change the subject of the appointment to the new duration. It will help the user to clearly see the change she did.
I am using the following code.

function OnClientAppointmentResizeEnd(sender, args) {
    var start = args.get_appointment().get_start();
    var end = args.get_targetSlot().get_endTime();
    var appDuration = Math.ceil((end.getTime() - start.getTime()) / (60000)); // show in minutes
    appointment.set_subject(appDuration);
    //alert(appDuration);
}

The above works well with web service binding and the user can see the subject of the appoinment changes to the new duration as she resizes the appointment. But this does not work (appointment subject change is not visible) with server side binding.
Any ideas apart from using AppointmentUpdate server side event?
Thanks and regards

Hi Kushil,

After OnClientAppointmentResizeEnd, a postback occurs to update the appointment, so you cannot use the client API in this case. If you handle OnClientAppointmentClick, there is no postback in this case so you could do the following:

Copy Code

function OnClientAppointmentClick(sender, args) {
var appointment = args.get_appointment();
appointment.set_subject("test");
sender.updateAppointment(appointment, false);
}

Note that you need to use the updateAppointment() method to permanently persist the changes.

I am not sure why you don't want to hadle the server-side AppointmentUpdate, but you can still consider it:

Copy Code

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Appointment.End != e.ModifiedAppointment.End)
{
e.ModifiedAppointment.Subject = e.ModifiedAppointment.Duration.TotalMinutes.ToString();
}
}

Please, explain if there are any reasons why you cannot use this approach.
