Problem with Update

[Steve]

I'm using the scheduler against a SharePoint List using an SPDataSource like this:

            <sharepoint:SPDataSource DataSourceMode="List"
                Scope="Default" UseInternalName="true"
                IncludeHidden="true"
                ID="spdsCalendar" runat="server">
                <SelectParameters>
                    <asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="TravelCalendarList" />
                </SelectParameters>
                <InsertParameters>
                    <asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="TravelCalendarList" />
                </InsertParameters>
                <UpdateParameters>
                    <asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="TravelCalendarList" />
                </UpdateParameters>
                <DeleteParameters>
                    <asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="TravelCalendarList" />
                </DeleteParameters>
            </sharepoint:SPDataSource>

I have the Update wired up correctly:

        protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if ((e.ModifiedAppointment.Subject == String.Empty) | (e.ModifiedAppointment.Start > e.ModifiedAppointment.End))
                {
                    e.Cancel = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    e.Appointment.Subject = e.ModifiedAppointment.Subject;
                    e.Appointment.Start = e.ModifiedAppointment.Start;
                    e.Appointment.End = e.ModifiedAppointment.End;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                lblError.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
            }
        }

When I click Update I get the follow error:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

I have written out the values from ModifiedAppointment to a label and it all looks correct. Both Insert and Delete work fine.

Anyone have an ideas as to what's going wrong with the Update?

cheers,

Steve

I tried setting some hardcoded values to the list inside the Update event like below:

        protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)
        {
            SPWeb oWeb = SPContext.Current.Web;
            SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["TravelCalendarList"];
            SPListItem itm = oList.GetItemById(1);
            if (null != itm)
            {
                itm["Location"] = "test";
                itm["Title"] = "test";
                itm.Update();
                RadScheduler1.Rebind();
            }
        }

The SharePoint List item gets updated fine but I still get the error. To reiterate, both Insert and Delete work fine.

Hi Steve,

Can you please share some more details about how you use RadScheduler in your Sharepoint installation? Does the RadScheduler instance reside in a Web Part or a User Control, etc. We would like to reproduce your issue as closely as possible so we can debug it locally.

Hi Dimitar -

I'm using Scheduler in a UserControl within a WebPart. In other words, I have 2 solution packages: one contains the WebPart, with custom List Templates; the other contains a series of UserControls which are dynamically injected into the WebPart at runtime.

If you give me an address to send them to I could probably send you both solutions if you think it will help to speed up a resolution to this issue.

Both solutions are built using WSPBuilder.

cheers,

Steve

Hello Steve,

Sending us the solutions would be of great help. You can open a support ticket through your Client.Net account and attach the files to the ticket.

Thank you in advance.

When I try to add a Support Ticket via the Client.net section, I can only see the RadControls for ASP.NET to select from.

Can you get my profile updated so I can add this ticket in the appropriate section for the latest Telerik AJAX dll?

cheers,

Steve

[Steve]

Could someone please update my Telerik profile so that I can add a Support Ticket in for RadScheduler.

At the moment I can only see the older version of the controls and need to add a ticket regarding the latest RadScheduler control.

[Steve]

I've added my solutions to a ticket. Ticket number is 158396

Hello Steve,

Actually, there's no need to request this from us (Telerik), but from the person responsible for your company's purchase. Here's the situation. We have four product lines:

• RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX
• RadControls for ASP.NET
• Telerik Reporting
• RadControls for WinForms

If you are added (from the person responsible for your company's purchase) as a licensed developer to RadControls for ASP.NET only, you won't have access from your Client.net account to the rest of the product lines.

For your convenience, I have added you as licensed developers to RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX license that Steve Ke has purchased.

Thanks Paul, I didn't know that this was the case.

Do I need to submit another support ticket or will the one I already submitted suffice?

[Paul]

Hi Steve,

There's no need to submit another support ticket. Ticket ID158396 has been already assigned to the responsible support officer and you will get a reply within the guaranteed response time.
