Overlap checking for recurrence rule

[CH]

Hi

I saved the appointment info into database, include start date, end date, recurrence rule and recurrence parent id etc. My question is how can I do overlap checking for the appointment with recurrence rule in database? Because recurentce rule is a long text include all information about date range.

And I also got two minor UI issues in Sharepoint 2010 environment.
1) When I try to add a new appointment, and click save button without any inputs in the popup window, I got error message which said I have to input appointment subject, then I input something into the subject textbox, and click save button again, but nothing happened.
I followed this link http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/radschedule-issue-with-updatepanel-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx to solve the js error about popup window, but here is a new one.
2) The radscheduler control obscured the dropdown menu in sharepoint 2010, please check attached screenshot.


Please advice, Thanks

Hello chuin hun,

Please set z-index in the below class as per your menu z-index or set z-index of your frop down menu.

.RadScheduler .rsHeader
       {
           z-index:****   !important;
       }

Note : after set the z-index. don't forget to check Datepicker popup UI is not damaged.

Thanks,

Hello chuin hun,

To make a server-side check for an appointment, whether it is a recurring appointment or not, you could use the RecurrenceState property of an Appointment, as in the code-block below:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentClick(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == Telerik.Web.UI.RecurrenceState.NotRecurring)
    {
        //The appointment is not recurring.
    }
    if (e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == Telerik.Web.UI.RecurrenceState.Occurrence
        && e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == Telerik.Web.UI.RecurrenceState.Master)
    {
        //The appointment is recurring.
    }
    if (e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == Telerik.Web.UI.RecurrenceState.Exception)
    {
        //When changes are made upon a recurring appointment, it becomes exception.
    }
}

Regarding the SharePoint related issues:
1. Could you please paste here the text of the error that you receive?
2. You can try increasing the z-index of the menu by adding this style in the head section of the master page that you use:

ms-MenuUIPopupBody
{
   z-index: 5000 !important;
}
