Rebinding programatically added custom resource selected values on edit

[Bex]

Hi

I know this must be quite simple, but none of the examples are quite doing what I am so I am unsure what I need to do!
I am setting custom resources to an appointment which are showing fine and can be selected when inserting, but when I am editing an appointment I don't know how to bind the selected values for the custom resource.

I have looked at this page http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/customize-the-advanced-form-with-the-advanced-template-user-controls.aspx  which was suggested on a previous post but this appears to be just for custom advanced forms but I am not using  a custom form, I am just using custom resources.

A simplified version of how I am adding the custom resources:

if (!IsPostBack)

            {
                 SchToday.CustomAttributeNames = new string[] { "Added Users", "Type" };

                //type is added separately and works fine, the users are added separately as they are only added under certain circumstances.

               SetUsersResource();

}

  private void SetUsersResource()

        {

            UserDetailCollection allUSers = UserManager.GetAllUsers();

            ResourceType users = new ResourceType("Added Users");

 

            users.AllowMultipleValues = true;

            users.ForeignKeyField = "AppointmentId";

            SchToday.ResourceTypes.Add(users);

 

            foreach (UserDetail user in allUSers)

            {

                SchToday.Resources.Add(new Resource("Added Users", user.UserId, user.FullName));

            }

        }

When I bind the scheduler I an doing this:

SchToday.DataSource = GetSchedule();

Where GetSchedule returns a collection of appointments from a table set up as per the documentation.

The selected users are stored in a table called UserAppointments, where the appoinmentId is stored against the user ID.
How do I bind these values back so they are selected when I edit the appointment?

Hello Becky,

It looks like you need to use custom attributes, so please take a look at this demo.

Hi Pete

Thanks for your reply!

Am I correct in thinking that attributes are single text are single text string values?
The custom resource I am adding produces a checkbox list where the user can multiple select.
How would this work with attributes and no custom advanced form?

Hello,

Yes, your assumption is correct - 'attributes are single text are single text string values'. If you need a checkbox list and multi-value resources, the only way to implement this is to create a special type of provider.

I made a bit of a typo there! :)
Is there no way of just binding them? Even on the appointment created?
Really don't want to re-do the whole thing!

Hi Bex,

You need to define resources as shown in this demo.
