Hi all!

I'm working in this ASPNET MVC project and i need to use a RadScheduler control.

As i found out in Telerik website the only way for it to work in MVC is to use WebServices and a SchedulerProvider.

We have set up a DbSchedulerProvider and a WebService based on the "WebServices" example of RadScheduler but we are facing some problems:

1. We cannot edit or delete the Appointment
2. We cannot see the delete icon

The markup we are using is as follows:

        <telerik:RadScriptManager runat="server" ID="RadScriptManager1"></telerik:RadScriptManager>

        <telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server"
            SelectedView="MonthView"
            SelectedDate="2009-02-02"
           TimeZoneOffset="03:00:00"
           StartEditingInAdvancedForm="false"
           ProviderName="SchedulerDataProvider"
           Culture="pt-PT"
           FirstDayOfWeek="Monday"
           LastDayOfWeek="Sunday">
           <AdvancedForm Modal="false" />
           <TimelineView GroupBy="Calendar" GroupingDirection="Vertical" />
           <WebServiceSettings Path="~/HoursMapValidation/HoursMap.asmx" ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide" />
       </telerik:RadScheduler>

Notice that we had to use the ProviderName attribute to our Provider Name(SchedulerDataProvider) as declared in web.config.

What can cause this problem?

We are stuck with this for a couple of days now and we may have to use the ContextMenu if we cannot solve the problem in reasonable time.

Best Regards

Hello,

We were unable to reproduce such problem. I'm attaching a test project here. Can you please open a support ticket and send me your project, so we can debug it?

Thanks for fast reply ! I managed to fix my problem and appointments are loaded but I can't add new files to xml file or update current. However I've got another problem. I want to change source of appointment from xml to sql. So I used linq to sql and create dbml class and change code in webservice. Now my code looks like this:

    
             public class SchedulerWebService : System.Web.Services.WebService 
        
                { 
        
                    private WebServiceAppointmentController _controller; 
        
                    public const string ProviderSessionKey = "SchedulerWebServiceData"; 
        
                    public XmlSchedulerProvider provider; 
        
                    List<Event> ev; 
        
                    List<Appointment> appList = new List<Appointment>(); 
        
                    [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)] 
        
                    public IEnumerable<Appointment> GetAppointments(SchedulerInfo schedulerinfo) 
        
                    { 
        
                        using (SchedulerDBDataContext db = new SchedulerDBDataContext()) 
        
                        { 
        
                            ev = db.Events.ToList(); 
        
                            foreach (var i in ev) 
        
                            { 
        
                                Appointment ap = new Appointment(i.ID, i.StartDate, i.EndDate, i.Title); 
        
                                appList.Add(ap); 
        
                            } 
        
                            return appList; 
        
                        } 
        
                    }

But when I launch my site I get error: Message from webpage: "The server method 'GetAppointments' failed. When I set breakpoint on my method then I see that method isn't even called by Scheduler. I post scheduler and script manager code here:

    
            <telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" EnableAdvancedForm="false"> 
        
                        <WebServiceSettings Path="../../Models/SchedulerWebService.asmx" /> 
        
                        <AdvancedForm Modal="false" /> 
        
                    </telerik:RadScheduler>

and

    
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server"> 
        
                </telerik:RadScriptManager>

Hello Tee Bee,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

The problem is caused by the fact that the advanced edit/insert form is disabled in my original example and the scheduler tries to display it when editing an appointment. This is a bug in itself and we'll look into it.

As for the example, I've enabled the advanced form and everything seems to be working fine. I'm uploading the updated project here.

As a token of our gratitude for your involvement, your Telerik points have been updated.

All the best,

I also need the RadScheduler in MVC. I have created my own SQL data provider (using LINQ) and I assume I need to hook it up to a web service as you have done in your example above. I took a look at your examples, but have a couple of further questions:
1) I need to filter out the appointments that I query based on a couple of rules:
a) whether the user has access to these appointments (no access, read only or read/write)
b) filtered by the "siteId" which the user has requested (which is a field in the Appointments table of my SQL database)
Normally, I got these variables from either the "Session" or the "ViewData". Will that still be available to me in the RadSchedule Control Data Source? if not, how do I pass these parameters in when I call the View that displays the schedule?
Can I extend my RadScheduler control from System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl? and will this solve my issues of passing around data in the Session variables?
2) Periodically, I will have an "Execution Server" which needs to read through the appointments and see which ones need attention (this server will send e-mail as well as invoke other actions). I will have to add custom fields to the Appointment to facilitate this. Although I have not tried adding custom fields, I think you have a section on doing just that in the docs. There will be 1000's of sites each with perhaps a maximum of 30 appointments most of which will be recurring. How do I parse through the Appointments table in a very timely/efficient fasion to see if any of my appointments require action (based on date/time)? It seems as though currently it is a question of somehow Pattern Matching (using Recurrence Rule????).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roman,

Please, accept my apologies for the late reply.

The session is available when using web service data binding and is suitable for passing values such as userId or siteId. Take a look at the example web service (Live Demos\App_Code\SchedulerWebService.cs) on how to enable the session:

[WebService]

[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]

[ScriptService]

public class SchedulerWebService : WebService, IRequiresSessionState

{

[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]

public IEnumerable<AppointmentData> GetAppointments(SchedulerInfo schedulerInfo)

{

return Controller.GetAppointments(schedulerInfo);

}

// ...

}

You can send additional extra data from the client to the web service by handling appointmentsPopulating event. An example can be found here:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/sending-extra-info-to-the-web-service.aspx#789023

I'm not sure if ViewUserControl will help here as most of the logic will be in the service and provider.

The recommended approach for evaluation recurrences is via the RecurrenceRule class. Please, look at these examples:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/schedule_serversideworkingwithrecurringappointments.html
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/telerik.web.ui-telerik.web.ui.recurrencerule-seteffectiverange.html

We also have an example on how to evaluate recurrence rules in SQL Server managed UDF:

http://blogs.telerik.com/tsvetomirtsonev/posts/08-08-04/working_with_radscheduler_recurring_appointments_on_sql_server.aspx

I hope this helps.

Hi,

In my situation, I had to put the following code to make it work with https. Hope it will help you!

Benoit

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { base.OnInit(e); RadScheduler1.ResourcesPopulating += new Telerik.Web.UI.ResourcesPopulatingEventHandler(RadScheduler1_ResourcesPopulating); } protected void RadScheduler1_ResourcesPopulating(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.ResourcesPopulatingEventArgs e) { HttpCookie cookie = FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(User.Identity.Name, false); string cookieHeader = string.Format("{0}={1}", cookie.Name, cookie.Value); e.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, cookieHeader); }
