Rich Text format in Subject field

[Dasha]

Hello, I have data coming into the scheduler that's formatted as html.  So you should be able to click of the appointment subject and follow a link.  For some reason I'm having difficulty showing the subject text as clickable, instead I have all the html markup shown.

Hi Dasha,

Please, consider Using Templates.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Does this mean that there's no way to display formatted text without templates?

[Peter]

Using templates is the approach we recommend for this case. Do you experience any problems in particular with this?

Peter,

I tried using the template approach and in general it's working well for me.  I am seeing an issue with recurrence images.  Since we're populating data from a source that may contain SharePoint recurrence formatting, in certain cases there's a special algorithm applied to calculating the recurrence, and in order to get the images to show up, I was using the AppointmentDataBound event:

void RadScheduler_AppointmentDataBound(object sender, SchedulerEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Appointment.Subject.StartsWith("_Recur_Label_"))
            {
                e.Appointment.RecurrenceState = RecurrenceState.Occurrence;
                e.Appointment.Subject = e.Appointment.Subject.Replace("_Recur_Label_", "");
            }
            else if (e.Appointment.Subject.StartsWith("_Recur_Ex_Label_"))
            {
                e.Appointment.RecurrenceState = RecurrenceState.Exception;
                e.Appointment.Subject = e.Appointment.Subject.Replace("_Recur_Ex_Label_", "");
            }
        }

This is my template:

<AppointmentTemplate>
        <div class="rsAptSubject">
            <%# HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Eval("Subject").ToString()) %>
        </div>
        <span style="font-size: x-small!important; font-style: italic!important;">
            <%# CWCalendar.DataDescriptionField %>
            <%# Eval("Description") %></span>
    </AppointmentTemplate>

I'm not seeing the images show up if I use this template with my approach.  Is there anything I can add to accomodate the images?

Hi Dasha,

Please, try the following code:

protected void RadScheduler1_AppointmentCreated(object sender, AppointmentCreatedEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == RecurrenceState.Master || e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == RecurrenceState.Occurrence)
       {
           Panel recurrenceStateDiv = new Panel();
           recurrenceStateDiv.CssClass = "rsAptRecurrence";
           e.Container.Controls.AddAt(0, recurrenceStateDiv);
       }
       if (e.Appointment.RecurrenceState == RecurrenceState.Exception)
       {
           Panel recurrenceStateDiv = new Panel();
           recurrenceStateDiv.CssClass = "rsAptRecurrenceException";
           e.Container.Controls.AddAt(0, recurrenceStateDiv);
       }
   }
