Well to explain the problem I am encountering I am using something similar to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/examples/advancedformtemplate/defaultcs.aspx I have a DefaultCS.aspx a DefaultCS.aspx.cs an AdvancedFormCS.ascx and an AdvancedFormCS.ascx.cs except I am using an entity data source.

The problem I actually have is that upon editing I am using a function called RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate:

    
                    protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e) 
        
                    { 
        
                        var schedule = (AdvancedFormCS)editForm.FindControl("AdvancedFormCS1"); 
        
                        var x = schedule.RecurrenceRuleText; 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["Name"].DefaultValue = schedule.Subject; 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["Description"].DefaultValue = schedule.Description; 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["StartTime"].DefaultValue = schedule.Start.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["EndTime"].DefaultValue = schedule.End.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["PublishAt"].DefaultValue = schedule.PublishAt.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["RemoveAt"].DefaultValue = schedule.RemoveAt.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["RecurrenceRule"].DefaultValue = schedule.RecurrenceRuleText;          
        
                    }

and under my <AdvancedEditTemplate> i have:

    
            <uc1:AdvancedFormCS ID="AdvancedFormCS1" runat="server" Subject='<%# Bind("Subject") %>' 
        
                            Description='<%# Bind("Description") %>' Start='<%# Bind("Start") %>' End='<%# Bind("End") %>'                 
        
                            RecurrenceRuleText='<%# Bind("RecurrenceRule") %>' />

As you can see under the "RecurrenceRule" I am encountering a problem seeing as I also need to set a RecurrenceRuleParent but the example does not provide me with a solution to this problem because it only gives me "RecurrenceRuleText" which I am assuming is only similar to "RecurrenceRule" from the other examples on the telerik website.

I am wondering how I should handle the recurrenceruleparent problem because it is needed if I wish to edit a single occurrence from an event that recurs.

Thanks

Hi Ramie,

I see what you mean now, thank you for the detailed explanation. You are free to access the form as you do in your code, but a more convenient way is to read the modified fields from the e.ModifiedAppointment property.

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentUpdate(object sender, AppointmentUpdateEventArgs e)

{

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["Name"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.Subject;

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["Description"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.Description;

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["StartTime"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.Start.ToString();

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["EndTime"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.End.ToString();

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["PublishAt"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.Attributes["PublishAt"].ToString();

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["RemoveAt"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.Attributes["RemoveAt"].ToString();

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["RecurrenceRule"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.RecurrenceRule;

EntityDataSource1.UpdateParameters["RecurrenceParenrID"].DefaultValue = e.ModifiedAppointment.RecurrenceParentID;

}

The RecurrenceParentID property is available there us well. I hope this helps

Although this has been a different way to view this, my RecurrenceParentID is showing up as a null when attempting to change only one occurence from a recurring appointment. I am wondering if there is perhaps something else I am missing. In my RadScheduler1_AppointmentInsert I do not have anything set for the RecurrenceParentID, do you see something that I should fix?

    
            protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentInsert(object sender, SchedulerCancelEventArgs e) 
        
                    { 
        
                        // ToDo: Still does not allow use of RecurrenceRuleParent 
        
                        var schedule = (PopUpUserControl)insertForm.FindControl("PopUpUserControl1"); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["Name"].DefaultValue = schedule.Subject; 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["Description"].DefaultValue = schedule.Description; 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["StartTime"].DefaultValue = schedule.Start.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["EndTime"].DefaultValue = schedule.End.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["PublishAt"].DefaultValue = schedule.PublishAt.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["RemoveAt"].DefaultValue = schedule.RemoveAt.ToString(); 
        
                        EntityDataSource1.InsertParameters["RecurrenceRule"].DefaultValue = schedule.RecurrenceRuleText; 
        
                    }

If not, do you have any other recommendations? Thanks for the help so far.
