Problems with showing Resource data in Appointment template

[Wim Tra Kranen]

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"
                AllowInsert="True" DataEndField="End" DataKeyField="ID" DataSourceID="dsSchedules"
                DataStartField="Start" DataSubjectField="Subject" FirstDayOfWeek="Sunday" LastDayOfWeek="Saturday"
                OverflowBehavior="Expand" SelectedView="WeekView" Culture="Dutch (Netherlands)"
                DataRecurrenceField="strRecurrenceRule" DataRecurrenceParentKeyField="RecurrenceParentID"
                MinutesPerRow="15" Skin="Web20" StartInsertingInAdvancedForm="True" EnableCustomAttributeEditing="True"
                OnAppointmentCreated="RadScheduler1_AppointmentCreated" WeekColumnHeaderDateFormat="dddd, d"
                WeekHeaderDateFormat="D" WorkDayEndTime="21:00:00"
                WorkDayStartTime="07:30:00" ondatabound="RadScheduler1_DataBound"
                CustomAttributeNames="Enabled,Remarks">
                <ResourceTypes>
                    <telerik:ResourceType DataSourceID="dsWorkFlows" KeyField="Key"
                        Name="process" TextField="Value"  ForeignKeyField="workflowTypeID"/>
                </ResourceTypes>

                <AppointmentTemplate>
                    <table style="width: 100%;">
                        <tr>
                            <td class="ScheduledTaskHeader" style="width: 16px;">
                                <img runat="server" id="icon" alt="Icon" src='<%# GetImage(Eval("Start").ToString()) %>' style="float: left;" />
                            </td>
                            <td class="ScheduledTaskHeader">
                                <%# Eval("Subject") %>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td class="ScheduledTaskBody" style="width: 16px;">
                                <img alt="Icon" src="./Images/icons/process.png" style="float: left;" />
                            </td>
                            <td class="ScheduledTaskBody">
                                <%# FormatText(Eval("process.Value").ToString())%>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </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:

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="dsSchedulesNames" runat="server" DeleteMethod="DeleteGroupScheduledTasks"
    SelectMethod="ScheduleNames" TypeName="Otto.Process.AdminWeb.ScheduleList">
    <DeleteParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="Name" Type="String" />
    </DeleteParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="dsSchedules" runat="server" DeleteMethod="DeleteSingleScheduledTask"
    InsertMethod="InsertAppointment" SelectMethod="AllData" TypeName="Otto.Process.AdminWeb.ScheduleList"
    UpdateMethod="UpdateAppointment">
    <DeleteParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="ID" Type="String" />
    </DeleteParameters>
    <UpdateParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="ID" Type="String" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="Subject" Type="String" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="Start" Type="DateTime" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="End" Type="DateTime" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="RecurrenceRule" Type="String" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="RecurrenceParentID" Type="Object" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="RecurrenceState" Type="Object" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="workflowTypeID" Type="Int32" />
    </UpdateParameters>
    <InsertParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="Subject" Type="String" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="Start" Type="DateTime" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="End" Type="DateTime" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="strRecurrenceRule" Type="String" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="RecurrenceParentID" Type="Object" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="RecurrenceState" Type="Object" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="workflowTypeID" Type="Int32" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="Enabled" Type="Boolean" />
        <asp:Parameter Name="Remarks" Type="String" />
    </InsertParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="dsWorkFlows" runat="server"
    SelectMethod="WorkFLowList"
    TypeName="Otto.Process.AdminWeb.WorkFlows">
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

Someone got some tips on how to solve this?

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 :)

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>

Thanks Peter,
don't know how I missed the nice bold red text everytime I looked at that example!
Sure appreciate the patience you have.
