[Solved] RadScheduler + Recurring Appointments

[rlgorton]

Playing with the RadScheduler demo has been very enjoyable.  Quick question for the Telerik team though.  Did you guys write your own recurring date engine or use a 3rd party to generate the recurring dates based upon the parameters a user specifies?

Hello Richard,

We did our own recurrence engine - the RecurrenceRule class. It is lightweight and tailored for the specific scenarios supported by RadScheduler.

Hi,

If I want to display the appointments from the agenda maintained by the radscheduler in a custom format in another part of my application combining it with some other data in the application (NOT USING SCHEDULER, as a very specific display format is needed), how can i easily include all the recurring appointments. Can I create a hidden instance of the scheduler and ask for appointments in range or can i directly access your recurrence engine?

Thanks

Bastiaan

Hello Telerik Team,

I am currently facing the same scenario mention above. Basically I would like to know if there is a way extract the recursive control from the appointment form with all the functionality to place it on separate form. Including the dynamic controls display on the page based on the rule.

I looked at the article mentioned above however I don't really think it's to clear on how to achieve the task. Can you please advise if this is feasible using the Telerik solution.

 

Looking forward to your reply as we are cutting a tight deadline.

 

Regards,

Hi Maged,

Please, refer to the Advanced Templates demo:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/advancedformtemplate/defaultcs.aspx

You can download a working sample of just this example from here:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/sample-project-of-the-customizing-the-advanced-template-example.aspx

The user control which implements the recurrence functionality is SchedulerDefaultForm.


Kind regards,
