RecurrenceDays.AddDay Question

[Stuart Cotts]

I am converting an outlook apppointment to a scheduleview appointment, in converting the recurrence I am trying to build a RecurrenceDays, I may be missing something but I have not been able to find any documentation on building a RecurrencePattern from scratch so I am winging it.

When I step through the code below everything is fine except RecurrenceDay.AddDay doesn't do anything, The result is that telerikdays is always None. What am I missing?

pat.Frequency = RecurrenceFrequency.Weekly;
pat.MaxOccurrences = week.NumberOfOccurrences;
Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DayOfTheWeekCollection days = ((Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Recurrence.WeeklyPattern)week).DaysOfTheWeek;
RecurrenceDays telerikdays = new RecurrenceDays();

foreach (DayOfWeek d in days)
{
    switch (d)
    {
        case DayOfWeek.Friday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Friday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Saturday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Saturday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Sunday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Sunday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Monday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Monday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Tuesday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Tuesday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Wednesday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Wednesday); break;
        case DayOfWeek.Thursday: telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Thursday); break;
    }
}

pat.DaysOfWeekMask = telerikdays;

Hello,

The RecurrenceDays is an enum structure. It would be easier to instantinate and sum the recurrence days like this:

 

 

RecurrenceDays telerikdays = RecurrenceDays.None;
telerikdays |= RecurrenceDays.Sunday;
telerikdays |= RecurrenceDays.Monday;
telerikdays |= RecurrenceDays.Wednesday;

That is what I ended doing, but I am still curious, what is the call AddDay for?

Hello Stuart,

It is an extension on the enum. It's body is:

public static RecurrenceDays AddDay(this RecurrenceDays recurrenceDays, RecurrenceDays dayToAdd)
{
  return recurrenceDays | dayToAdd;
}

So instead of:
telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Friday);
you should actually use:
telerikdays = telerikdays.AddDay(RecurrenceDays.Friday);
