Hi,

I have been using the RadScheduler along with the ExchangeSchedulerProvider (from the SDK) to synchronize my outlook calendar with the application. The synchronization fails in the following scenario :

From a series of recurring appointments, if a single event is deleted, the intended change is reflected in the Outlook Calendar, but even after page reload, this deletion isn't reflected in the RadScheduler. It works fine when the complete series is deleted.

I would like to know if there is a way to have the change reflected as soon as the event is deleted without having to reload the page as for the deletion of a single non recurrent event or a complete recurring series, it worked fine without page reload.

The following are the sample code snippets:

Hi Joe,

The described behavior is caused because of the Rebind function that you use in PageLoad event -this code is not recommended when binding your RadScheduler to Exchange Provider because many of the changes that you make like inserting and updating of appointments will not be executed at all.

I would also like to remind you that there is no official time frame for forum thread answers and if you need a urgent answer we kindly recommend submitting a support ticket.

Hi,

We have prepared a sample project implementing RadScheduler synchronization with the outlook calendar. I would like to clarify that when the ExchangeProvider is instantiated on Page_Init server-side event the RadScheduler is working as expected, so no page refresh is needed. That way when user deletes a single occurrence (not the entire recurring series) the change will reflect as expected in both calendars ( the RadScheduler and the outlook) and the RadScheduler will bound and updated to apply the changes properly. Please type your outlook account credentials in the code behind of the attached project as shown in the code snippet.

Copy Code

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//below goes your Exchange account credentials in that order

RadScheduler1.Provider = new ExchangeSchedulerProvider(@"https://hubcasbg02.telerik.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx", "antoniomoreno", "amorenopassword", "telerik", "antoniomoreno@telerik.com");

}

Hope this information will be helpful.
