Save Changes Automatically

[Karl]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me, which event is best to call to save any changes made in the RadScheduler.At present I I use a button to save all changes using TableAdapters. I would like the changes saved automatically ie if resized, dragged or a appointment is opend edited and closed.

I've tried the .Appointments.CollectionChanged and when adding an event using CustomEditAppointmentDialog it adds the appointment twice.

Thanks

Think I sorted this, I added the

AppointmentsRowChanged

and the

AppointmentsRowDeleted

 on the dataset and it seems to work ok

Hi Karl,

I am glad that you have sorted this out.

Indeed, this is the correct approach since RadScheduler always keeps the source collection consistent by updating it when this is needed.

Should you have any future questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

If this helps anyone, here is what i did to get the rad scheduler to save the data:

I followed the instructions in this video here (had to manually create an SQL CE database based on their sample access db):

http://tv.telerik.com/winforms/radscheduler/codeless-data-binding-with-radscheduler-winforms

But anytime i added or changed an appointment it wouldn't save it to the database.

So i added this to my form load:

radScheduler1.Appointments.CollectionChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.Data.NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(Appointments_CollectionChanged);

And the event handler code is:

        private void Appointments_CollectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.Data.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            appointmentsTableAdapter.Update(this.schedulerdataDataSet.Appointments);
            this.schedulerdataDataSet.AcceptChanges();

            Console.WriteLine("Updated scheduler at " + DateTime.Now.ToString());
        }

After doing that it actually saved the data to the database and seems to work now.

Hope this helps.

I tried to you use your code and it work as it should when it come to editing an appointment. But one slight problem... whenever i create a new appointment it always make duplicate?!? Do you have any idea why it might do that?

Hello Gaston,

Thank you fro your question.

Most probably this happens because calling Update method of the table adapter causes the scheduler to update its appointments and another CollectionChanged will be caused. To avoid this you can simply put a boolean flag to indicate if you are doing an update:

bool updating = false;
void Appointments_CollectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.Data.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (updating)
    {
        return;
    }

    updating = true;
    appointmentsTableAdapter.Update(this.schedulerDataDataSet.Appointments);
    this.schedulerDataDataSet.AcceptChanges();
    updating = false;
}

Hope this will help. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
