[Solved] Set appointment as allday

[Andrew]

Hi

Is there an easy way of setting an appointment as an allday event? or do i have to set the start and end variables to specific date/times to get this to work?

Thanks

Hello Greg,

You need to set the Start and End dates to specific values. Namely, the start datetime should be 12 am of the current day, and the end datetime should be 12 am the day after. For example:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Appointment allDayAppointment = new Appointment();
        allDayAppointment.Subject = "All day appointment for May 15, 2009";
        allDayAppointment.Start = new DateTime(2009, 5, 15, 0, 0, 0);
        allDayAppointment.End = new DateTime(2009, 5, 16, 0, 0, 0);
        RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(allDayAppointment);

    }

All the best,

Hello Greg,

Are you setting the TimeZoneOffset property? If yes, you should take this into consideration. For example:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            Appointment allDayAppointment = new Appointment();
            allDayAppointment.Subject = "All day appointment for May 15, 2009";

            DateTime allDayStart = new DateTime(2009, 5, 16, 0, 0, 0);
            DateTime allDayStartAdjusted = allDayStart.Subtract(RadScheduler1.TimeZoneOffset);

            DateTime allDayEnd = new DateTime(2009, 5, 17, 0, 0, 0);
            DateTime allDayEndAdjusted = allDayEnd.Subtract(RadScheduler1.TimeZoneOffset);

            allDayAppointment.Start = allDayStartAdjusted;
            allDayAppointment.End = allDayEndAdjusted;
            RadScheduler1.InsertAppointment(allDayAppointment);

        }

    }
