Hello Kier,

Thank you, that was exactly the information I was asking for. The resource grouped day and week views are already implemented, so you can use them right away.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "date sorting". Do you mean "grouped by date" as in the demo screenshot?

If that's the case then you might consider using the normal server-side data binding and make the transition to web service data binding when we're ready with the views you need.

All the best,

Hi Kier,

We still haven't uploaded an example or help topic on this subject. We'll do so soon, but in the mean time I'm attaching you a sample site that demonstrates how to use it.

The scheduler is configured as this:
<telerik:RadScheduler runat="server" ID="RadScheduler1" Skin="Vista"
    SelectedView="DayView" SelectedDate="2009-04-18">
    <DayView GroupBy="User" />
    <WebServiceSettings Path="~/SchedulerDataService.asmx" ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide" />
</telerik:RadScheduler>

The key here is ResourcePopulationMode. It has to be set to server-side or manual, as the control needs the list of resources on the server in order to be able to render its basic structure.

The date grouped week/day view is planned for implementation. We hope to get it done for the upcoming SP2 release. If we don't make it in time for it, we'll release it in the following internal builds.

Kind regards,

Hi Kier,

I can confirm that the session is not shared between the calling page and the GetResources method. Our research showed that accessing the session data is not possible while the initial request is still executing. So, we had to give up on this one, but we offer another option to send information to the web service.

You can provide your own scheduler info object to pass to the GetResources method. You need to implement ISchedulerInfo first:

public class MySchedulerInfo : SchedulerInfo
{
    private int _userId;

    public int UserId
    {
        get { return _userId; }
        set { _userId = value; }
    }
}

Then you can to handle the ResourcesPopulating event and replace the original schedulerInfo object:

protected void RadScheduler1OnResourcesPopulating(object sender, ResourcesPopulatingEventArgs args)
    {
        MySchedulerInfo info = new MySchedulerInfo();
        info.ViewStart = args.SchedulerInfo.ViewStart;
        info.ViewEnd = args.SchedulerInfo.ViewEnd;
        info.UserId = 100;

        args.SchedulerInfo = info;
    }

Finally, the GetResources method can use the data like this:
    [WebMethod]
    public IEnumerable<ResourceData> GetResources(MySchedulerInfo schedulerInfo)
    {
        int userId = schedulerInfo.UserId;
        // ...

        return Controller.GetResources(schedulerInfo);
    }

I hope this helps.

Sincerely yours,
