Sending extra info to web service

[Mitchell]

I know there's a couple of posts on this topic already, but I have questions still.

I have to pass the current user ID that is creating the appointment to the Insert method of the web service so that attribute can be saved to the appointment.

I have this set up here in MySchedulerInfo.cs

    public int UserID { get; set; }

    public MySchedulerInfo(ISchedulerInfo baseInfo, int doctorID, int userID) : base(baseInfo) {
        UserID = userID;
    }

    public MySchedulerInfo() {
    }


And then on the front end, I have this:

    protected void radAppointmentsDoctors_AppointmentInsert(Object sender, AppointmentInsertEventArgs e) {
        e.SchedulerInfo = new MySchedulerInfo(e.SchedulerInfo, c_user_id);
    }

So then in MyDbSchedulerProvider,cs , I have:

public override void Insert(RadScheduler owner, Appointment appointmentToInsert) {
        if (!PersistChanges) {
            return;
        }

        bvAppointmentDoctor a = new bvAppointmentDoctor();

        a.AssignedTo = int.Parse(appointmentToInsert.Resources.GetResourceByType("Doctor").Key.ToString());
        a.UserId = ?????
^^^ here's the problem. How do I get access to the schedulerinfo UserID property from within this method?

// Then Assign other object properties here and save object

Someone? Anyone?

Hello Mitchell,

Attached are a couple of demos that will probably help you with this task. Let me know if you have further questions.

This doesn't seem to be working. I was able to get access to the SchedulerInfo property "userid" successfully, but it's not being assigned a value?

I'm using:

protected void radAppointmentsDoctors_AppointmentInsert(Object sender, AppointmentInsertEventArgs e) {
        e.SchedulerInfo = new MySchedulerInfo(e.SchedulerInfo, c_user_id);
    }

But if I do logging on that function, it never even gets to it. The value for c_user_id is assigned at page load (class variable), so I know it has a value, but it doesn't appear that AppointmentInsert is even being called before the insert is performed.

Do I need to use the client side version OnClientAppointmentInserting? If so, what's the syntax for that for me to pass the class variable of the user ID through?

Hi Mitchell,

With Web Service binding you should use OnClientAppointmentWebServiceInserting instead of AppointmentInsert since server side events do not occur in this mode. Please, refer to this help topic for more details on the matter -
