RadScheduler Resource Grouping

[Viji]

Hi,

I've downloaded RadScheduler and trying to see the resource grouping.
The demo says to change the property "SelectedView" and set it to "ResourceView", I don't see that option in the property, I have only Dayview,WeekView,MonthView and TimeLine.

Do you have sample project where in this Resource grouping is shown?

I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks
Viji

Hello Viji,

We recently changed the way resource grouping works, it's not a separate view anymore, now every view can be grouped. You should set GroupBy property to achieve this. There is another property GroupingDirection which turns the direction - horizontal/vertical. To set grouping for only one view, for example DayView, you should set the DayView-GroupBy property.

Please check out our online example here.  The description of the example is not updated yet.

Hi Yana,

I got how to get the resource grouping view.
I have multiple resources and its details.
I want to store the resource details like Name,address etc. with the appointment. So that when the appointment is clicked, I get all the details of the appointment and the resource tied to it.
How do I do that. I am trying to implement the custom provider. But Telerik.Web.UI.Resource which is added to the appointment doesn't allow multiple values in it.

Am I going in a wrong way. Please let me know.
Or if you have any sample pertinant to that, then that will be great.

Thanks
Viji

Hi Viji,

I suggest you use Custom Attributes in your case. Please check out our online example here. You can find more information about custom attributes here.

Hi Yana,

I was asking what is the best way to achieve Resource Grouping. I read to have multiple resources in an appointment we have to have a custom provider.
I have written one, but I am not sure how to refer that provider to the scheduler.
For an XMLProvider
I got this lines in web.config

<

telerik.web.ui>

<

radScheduler defaultAppointmentProvider="Integrated">

<

appointmentProviders>

<

add name="MyXMLProvider"

type="Telerik.Web.UI.XmlSchedulerProvider"

fileName="~/App_Data/Appointments.xml"

persistChanges="true"/>

</

appointmentProviders>

</

radScheduler>

</

telerik.web.ui>

For a custom provider how do I refer to the application.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Siva
