I want to display some data from a resource datasource but i get the error:
process is not a valid item of an appointment

here is my definition of radscheduler:

    
                        <telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" AllowDelete="True" AllowEdit="False"

                                            <img runat="server" id="icon" alt="Icon" src='<%# GetImage(Eval("Start").ToString()) %>' style="float: left;" />

                                        <td class="ScheduledTaskHeader">

                            </AppointmentTemplate> 
        
                        </telerik:RadScheduler>

The line where the problem is at: <%# FormatText(Eval("process.Value").ToString())%> <-- DataBinding: 'Telerik.Web.UI.Appointment' does not contain a property with the name 'process'.

and here the code for my datasources:

                TypeName="Otto.Process.AdminWeb.WorkFlows">  
        
            </asp:ObjectDataSource>

Someone got some tips on how to solve this?

Cheers WIm

Hi Wim,

Please, try the following code for a resource type with name "process":

    
            <AppointmentTemplate> 
        
               <%#Eval("Subject") %> 
        
                   <hr /> 
        
               <%# Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("process").Text%> 
        
            </AppointmentTemplate>

Let us know if you have further questions.

Is there a variation for if they didn't pick a resource? I tried code above, get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." We're not forcing them to pick resources, they are optional. Holidays don't have a poc :)

    <telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" DataDescriptionField="EventDescription"
   DataEndField="EventEnd" DataKeyField="EventId" DataRecurrenceField="EventRecurRule"
   DataRecurrenceParentKeyField="EventRecurParentId" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceEvents"
   DataStartField="EventStart" DataSubjectField="EventSubject" EnableDescriptionField="True"
   Height="650px" Width="900px" WorkDayStartTime="07:30:00" DayStartTime="07:00:00"
   SelectedView="MonthView" 
   CustomAttributeNames="EventSiteLoc,EventBldgLoc,EventRoomLoc,ModifiedBy,LastUpdated" 
   style="margin-bottom: 2"> 
   <AppointmentTemplate> 
      <div class="rsAptSubject"> 
         <%# Eval("Subject") %> 
      </div> 
      POC: <%# Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("POC").Text%> 
   </AppointmentTemplate> 
   <ResourceTypes> 
      <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceEventCategories" ForeignKeyField="EventCategory"
         KeyField="EvntCatId" Name="Event Category" TextField="EvntCategoryName" /> 
      <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="SqlDataSourcePOCList" ForeignKeyField="EventPOC"
         KeyField="UserGuid" Name="POC" TextField="UserNameDisplay" /> 
   </ResourceTypes> 
</telerik:RadScheduler>

Hello,

Please, refer to this demo.

CS aspx

<asp:Label ID="UserLabel" runat="server"

Text='<%# Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User") == null ? "None" : Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User").Text %>' />

VB.NET aspx:

<asp:Label ID="UserLabel" runat="server"

Text='<%# If (Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User") is Nothing, "None" , Container.Appointment.Resources.GetResourceByType("User").Text) %>'></

asp:Label>
