Problem to show the description field

[Li Zhou]

I must missed something simple, but I just cannot have the description field show up on the schdeuler (please see screen shot)
I have set EnableDescriptionField="true", DataDescriptionField="Description" , also set AppointmentTemplate.
When I edit the event, the description is in the edit form.  Could someone please take a look?  Thanks

Hello Li,

Please, refer to this help topic. Since you don't use a provider you should not set - EnableDescriptionField="true".

I am using my custom SQL provider with Web service binding.  Below is my web.config

<telerik.web.ui>
    <radScheduler defaultAppointmentProvider="Scheduler">
      <appointmentProviders>
        <add name="Scheduler" type="MyProject.MySchedulerProvider" connectionStringName="MyDB" persistChanges="true" />
      </appointmentProviders>
    </radScheduler>
  </telerik.web.ui>

AS you can see in the screenshot in my origonal post, everything works fine for the custom provider by inserting, edit appoinments and the Description field shows up in the edit form.  I tried both with and without EnableDescriptionField="true", the description field still NOT showing up in the schedular. 

Any place else I should look at?  I am using 2010 Q1 trial version. Thanks

Hello Li,

Thanks for the additional information. With Scheduler / Web Service binding, you need to use the client API to create appointment template manually :

<script type="text/javascript">
        //<![CDATA[
            // Fired when an appointment is rendered
            function appointmentCreated(sender, eventArgs)
            {
                var $ = $telerik.$; // jQuery alias
                var apt = eventArgs.get_appointment();
                $(".rsAptDelete", apt.get_element()) // Locate the delete icon element
                    .before(
                        // And insert a div with the appointment description before it
                        $("<div style='font-style:italic;'></div>").text(apt.get_description())
                    );
            }
         //]]>
        </script>
