Only create timeslot where Appointment is given

[Prashant]

Hi,

I am using Rad Scheduler to show the appointment on daily basis. What i want is, that if there is no appointment for a particular slot then that slot should not be created.
for example i have this on datatable  
9:00 Am to 10:00 Am | Do something
10:00 Am to 11:00 Am | Do nothing
and then
1:00 Pm to 2:00 Pm | Do something Again

so what i did, i have set 9:00 Am as start time and 2:00 Pm as end time
it had also created time slot for 11:00 to 12:00 and 12:00 to 1:00 which are not in Datatable.

i did tried 
 if (e.TimeSlot.Appointments.Count < 1)
        {
            e.TimeSlot.Control.Visible = false;
          }
but still i can see hours on Hours Column and blank space in between the time slot.
is there any way i can stop the time slot from creating or create timeslot according to slot's in Datatable.
Please help.
Thanks 
Prashant Rawat

Hello,

 
This scenario is not supported by RadScheduler. One way to achieve similar scenario is to disable the time slots that you do not need as shown in this KB article.

Hope this information is helpful.

Hi Plamen, 

Thanks for your reply.
So instead of hiding them i can only disable them.

Hello Prashant,

 
You can also hide the Time Slots but this can affect some other functionality of RadScheduler and cause it to not work as expected. That is why we do not recommend and support such custom implementation.

Hi Plamen,  

Can you please tell me the way to hide slots, I know it is not recommended(as you said in previous post) but i would like to give it a try.

Thanks

Hi Prashant,

You  can make a slot visible false as in the code bellow:

protected void RadScheduler1_TimeSlotCreated(object sender, TimeSlotCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.TimeSlot.Start.Date<DateTime.Now.Date)
       {
           e.TimeSlot.Control.Visible = false;
       }
   }

Hope this will help you.

Hi Plamen,

As you can see on my first post i did tried the 
 
        e.TimeSlot.Control.Visible = false; 

but it results in blank space in between the time slots and i can see the time in hours panel.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Prashant,

 
You can also hide them by changing their css dynamically in the pageLoad as it is shown in this forum post.

Hope this will help you.
