SpecialDays at runtime not firing Template

[Pierre]

Hi Team,

I have problems to fire templatesID added as markups at runtime using demo samples. The TemplateID MondayTemplate are not fired but the item is marked as Special days in render. TemplateId are only working if specialDays are added as markup in the initial page like DateTemplate. Special days(as markup or runtime) are lost after paging need some event to reload?. Could you reproduce and help us? Regards

            <telerik:RadCalendarDay Date="2010/06/16" Repeatable="DayInMonth" TemplateID="DateTemplate" />

                <telerik:DayTemplate  ID="DateTemplate" runat="server">

                        <div class="rcTemplate rcMondayDate">
                            date
                        </div>
                    </Content>
                </telerik:DayTemplate>

protected  void Page_Load(object  sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

{

RadCalendarDay NewDay = new RadCalendarDay(RadCalendar1);

NewDay.Date = new DateTime(2010, 6, 20); <--Fire

NewDay.Repeatable = RecurringEvents.DayAndMonth;<--Fire

NewDay.TemplateID = "MondayTemplate"; <---------------NOT FIRED

NewDay.ToolTip = "Tip";    <---Fire or ItemStyle.CssClass = "MyClass"; is ok.

RadCalendar1.SpecialDays.Add(NewDay);

}

}

The Result is like no template added
<td title="Tip">
<div class="radTemplateDay_Special">18</div>
</td>

SpecialDays are lost after paging to next or prev month if added or not as markup.

Hello Pierre,

I suggest you to add the specialdays in DayRender event. Check for the condition in DayRender event and add required days in SpecialDays collection in DayRender event itself.

Hi, I want to use the Calendar control in an asp.net mvc2 project, 

Can you please provide information on how to do this.

[Sebastian]

Hello Prince,

You may consider using our Calendar MVC component for this purpose. Refer to the Telerik MVC online demos for more details.

Best regards,

[Prince]

we already have the MVC control, we have paid for the full package, your online demos do not show the control working as I would like.

I want to use the asp.net calendar's Calendar / Special Days and templates (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/calendar/examples/functionality/specialdays/defaultcs.aspx).

your demo doesn't show the MVC controls working in that manner. I have a sample page below.

What I want to do is to be able to assign events to days (multiple entries) which asp.net calendar control supports and the MVC control doesn't. 

The issue I am having is that when the special days are declared via asp.net markup, it works. however any special days added via code doesn't get rendered. So I want to know how to get the special days rendered programatically.

my mvc page is having the issue that is in this thread.

So can you please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance

Hello Prince,

Could you please try adding the SpecialDays on Page_Load but later and see if it works?
Let me know how it goes.

Best wishes,
