Radscheduler synchronize with Outlook

[HHalim]

I'm planning to use radscheduler for a project and wondering if anyone has done syncing of radscheduler to Outlook. Is this a possibility?

Thanks!

Hi Hart,

Unfortunately, this functionality is not supported by the current version of the control. Still, we have that in our ToDo list and we'll try to implement it in some of the next versions of RadScheduler.

All the best,

I was not expecting the scheduler to have a built in sync feature, so that's great to hear that it's in the todo list.

Meanwhile, what about import icalendar format to radscheduler? Is this possible to do?  Anyone has done this? Again, I'm not expecting radscheduler to have a built in import feature.

Sorry, for the noob question, I've never used the radscheduler, and I have an important project coming up, so don't want to use something that may not fullfill the requirement.

Hi Hart,

RadScheduler doesn't support importing data from iCalender format as a built-in feature. We still haven't researched how this can be accomplished via a workaround either, but we will definitely consider offering a solution to this scenario one way or the other.

Hi,

It is great to hear that sync functionality will be available! That is just what I desperately need at the moment. Could You please tell me if this is already implemented or at least  when it can be expected?

Thanks a lot!

Hello Goran,

Please check this code library: Import iCalendar Data

I hope this helps.

Thanks for Your quick reply!

This example is great when you need import, but what I really need is synchronization between Scheduler and Outlook calendar. That means that every change you do in one of those two calendars affects data in ether one of them in a way that they are synchronized. For i.e.: if you delete or insert or change appointment on a web page trough synchronization the same appointment is deleted or inserted or changed in outlook and vice versa.
(Something like GoogleCalendarSync app.)

Thanks anyway,

Goran

Hello Goran,

We have introduced an Exchange provider for RadScheduler in the Q2 release this year. It allows you to do just that - synchronize an exchange account with RadScheduler in real time. But you do not mention anything about Exchange, so I am not sure if you use it as a backend. Let me know if you do.

If you are not using Exchange, then I am afraid we cannot do much. In this scenario some kind of offline tool will be required to synchronize your local Outlook calendar with your site.

Hi Tsvetomir,

First of all, thank You very much for helping me out.

Could You just pass me some links about Exchange provider for RadScheduler because that is just what we are planning to use to synchronize Outlook and Scheduler.

Thanks,

Goran

Hello Goran,

You can use the Exchange Provider help topic for reference. Also, I am happy to inform you that we have managed to fix a lot of minor issues with RadScheduler.

If you need further assistance, just drop us a line and we will get back to you.

Holy thread hijack!!!

I completely forgot about this thread from about 4 years ago. What a revival, I'm signing off now, please excuse my trolling.....  ;-)

I would be interested in seeing an example on how to connect Radscheduler to the Calander in outlook.com

[Boyan Dimitrov]

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I would suggest reviewing our help article that shows a sample implementation of ExchangeProvider that will communicate with the Exchange server and synchronize your RadScheduler control.

I would summarize the required information in the code snippet below in order to work as expected.
//code behind

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       this.calendarNames = "your calendar name";
       this.serverUrl = @"https://yourServerURL.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx";
       this.domain = "your domain";
       this.username = "your user name";
       this.password = "your password";

       RadScheduler1.Provider = new ExchangeSchedulerProvider(@"https://yourServerURL.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx", "username", "password", "domain", "CalendarName");

   }
   protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
   {
   }

Please find attached a sample example that follows the aforementioned help article implementation.

Hi,

Does Telerik now have any code samples for syncing radscheduler with outlook and google calendars? It is one of the most required features from clients nowdays and comes prebuilt in most scheduling components.

[Hristo Valyavicharski]

Hi Lalit,

Boyan's reply includes sample for Outlook (ExchangeCalendarSync.zip). Regarding the Google Calendar, we do not have yet a two way sync example. However I'm attaching small sample project, which you can use to retrieve data from any ICalendar include Google Calendar.
