Good day!
I'm using my own business objects to populate a scheduler using Linq-to-SQL within the scheduler's VisibleRangeStart and VisibleRangeEnd. Now I want to be able to support recurrence, but I'm not sure where to start. What properties should I add to my custom Appointment class/object to support recurrence? How do I retrieve recurrences using Linq-to-SQL? How do I update or delete an occurence or the entire series? Your help will really be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Hello Joe,
Please, refer to the help topic on Working with Recurring Appointments. Also the Getting Started topic shows how to bind RadScheduler to data source that supports recurring appointments.
Let us know if you need more help.

Hi Peter!
The samples really doesn't show or explain how to retrieve appointments that have recurrence between the visible range start/end of a scheduler, or how to update/delete an entire series or just an occurence within a series. I really hope you can help me with this. Thanks.

Hi Joe,
If you need to make sure that an occurrence of a recurring appointment falls within a given time range, you have to parse the recurrence rule and loop through each occurrence. In addition to the help topic, you can also see this kb article for how to parse the recurrence rule:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/scheduler/how-to-display-all-radscheduler-appointments-in-gridview.aspx
There is a detailed kb article on RadScheduler with LinqDataSource.
If you need a deeper understanding on how recurring appointments are retrieved and updated, I suggest you review the Database Provider demo, and in particular the source code for the provider is located in the App_Code directory of the QSF.
