[Solved] Recurrence on the last day of the month?

[Michael Kane]

Is it possible to programmatically create a RecurrenceRule such that the event recurs on:

• Jan 31
• Feb 28 (or 29)
• Mar 31
• April 30

(for example)?

Thank you,

Michael

Hi Michael,

RadScheduler provides this as a built-in functionality. Please, see the attached screenshot.

Thanks, Peter, but I need to create these events programmatically (without using the Scheduler's UI).

Can you describe how to do that?

Thank you,

Michael

Hello Michael,


You can set the dayOrdinal parameter when using the MonthlyRecurrenceRule constructor. For example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         //Creates a sample appointment that starts at 6/1/2007 3:30 PM (local time) and lasts half an hour.
                     Appointment recurringAppointment = new Appointment("1", Convert.ToDateTime("6/1/2007 3:30 PM"),
                         Convert.ToDateTime("6/1/2007 4:00 PM"), "Sample appointment");

                     // Creates a recurrence range, that specifies a limit of 5 occurrences for the appointment.
                     RecurrenceRange range = new RecurrenceRange();
                     range.Start = recurringAppointment.Start;
                     range.EventDuration = recurringAppointment.End - recurringAppointment.Start;
                     range.MaxOccurrences = 5;

                     // Creates a recurrence rule to repeat the appointment on the last day of every month.
                     MonthlyRecurrenceRule rrule = new MonthlyRecurrenceRule(-1, RecurrenceDay.EveryDay, 1, range);

                     Response.Write("Appointment occurrs at the following times: </br> ");
                     int ix = 0;
                     foreach (DateTime occurrence in rrule.Occurrences)
                     {
                         ix = ix + 1;
                         Response.Write(occurrence.ToLocalTime()+"</br>");
                     }
    }
