Scheduler time mismatch using TimeZoneID, TimeZoneOffset, EnableTimeZoneEditing

[MfE_Developer]

Hell Telerik,

I have recently updated to ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2012 update (previously on Q3 2011)
We have used the Scheduler and specified Advanced form attributes on our application.

After the update (mentioned above) I found that when a New Appointment is created, (double clicking on a timeslot on the calendar) it should show "PM" instead of the "AM" time that was chosen.
(see attached screenshot)

I had found that the update had appended TimeZoneID, TimeZoneOffset into the <telerik: RadScheduler> tag and also inserted EnableTimeZoneEditing into the <AdvancedForm> tag.

To work around this problem I found that once the above 3 tags were removed the scheduler would pick up the time correctly
i.e. 9.00 AM intead of 9.00 PM

The values for the above attributes were:

• TimeZoneID = "New Zealand Standard Time"
• TimeZoneOffset = "12:00:00"
• EnableTimeZoneEditing = "True"

Am I missing something in configuration? (or possibly a bug?)

Thanks.

Hello,

I have tested the specified scenario, but I was unable to replicate the issue in question. Here is what I have tested:

<telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" TimeZoneOffset="12:00:00"
    TimeZoneID="New Zealand Standard Time" GroupBy="Room" GroupingDirection="Vertical">
    <AdvancedForm EnableTimeZonesEditing="true" Modal="true" />
</telerik:RadScheduler>

The start and end time in the advanced form are fetched from the time slot's start and end time on which the user has clicked in order to create an appointment.

Could you try to isolate the problem in a sample project  and send it over via a support ticket, so we would be able to troubleshoot the issues locally?

All the best,

FYI: Just to update everyone this is a known issue - the workaround is to put the following in (per Telerik support)

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (!IsPostBack)
           {
               RadScheduler1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
           }
       }

       protected void RadScheduler1_NavigationComplete(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerNavigationCompleteEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Command == Telerik.Web.UI.SchedulerNavigationCommand.SwitchToSelectedDay)
           {
               if ((RadScheduler1.SelectedDate - DateTime.Now.Date) == new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0))
               {
                   RadScheduler1.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
               }
           }
       }
