RadScheduler timelineview failed with the EndDate value 30-12-9999

[Lam]

hi,

I think this is quite an extreme test but this is what happen:

+ Pass endDate to RadScheduler with the value of 30-12-9999 ( or 31-12-9999) the maximum date that a date control can support.

Then RadScheduler run into a runtime error, below is the stack trace :

System.DateTime.AddTicks(Int64 value)
System.DateTime.Add(TimeSpan value)
Telerik.Web.UI.Scheduler.Views.Timeline.Model.DataBind(AppointmentCollection appointments)
Telerik.Web.UI.Scheduler.Views.Timeline.GroupedByResource.Model.DataBind(AppointmentCollection appointments)
Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.CreateContent()
Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.CreateChildControls(Boolean bindFromDataSource)
System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls()
Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.LoadPostData(String postDataKey, NameValueCollection postCollection)

 

The reason is : Radscheduler try to AddTick to a MaxDate value. (Currently the Timelineview.TimeSlotDuration  = 1 day - the defaulted value)

My question : Why it failed even if I pass in 30-12-9999 . Because the MaxDate should be 31-12-9999

I am thinking of only allow date <= 30-12-9999  ( but now it failed with this value 30-12-9999)

And restrict it to 29-12-9999 does not look right.

 Any idea is much appreciated.

 regards,

 Lam.

Hello Lam,

I am afraid the RadScheduler is not designed to work with date values as big as 30.12.9999. For instance the upper year limit for the Appointments EndDate is 2099. I would suggest adding a Feature Request in our Feedback Portal if you believe such raise in the Date range is needed and would be useful.
