Reporting on Recurring Appointments

[Simon]

Hi, 

I'm sure this is a common request. Do you have an example of how to report on recurring appointments using the recurrence pattern saved with the appointment?

We have many recurring appointments, and our reports need to include these when getting appointments by a range of dates.
We are using Entity Framework so ideally your example uses a partial class approach.

Thanks

Hi Simon,

We do not have such an example at the moment, but I would suggest you to use GetOccurrences method to get the occurrences of appointments within a time frame.

If you loop through the AppointmentsSource of the ScheduleView and call this method for each appointment, you'll get the needed result:

var allAppointments = new ObservableCollection<Occurrence>();
foreach(var a in appointments)
{
    allAppointments.AddRange(a.GetOccurrences(DateTime.Today, DateTime.Today.AddDays(30)));
}

Best wishes,
